Changing brake drums to brake discs

[Bibill]

Was toying around on brake discs lately, both for safety and aesthetic reasons.

 

Anyone did a change of rear brake drums to discs before? Can share the pros, cons and cost of the change?

 

How about upgrading front brake discs to something better?

 

Do we need to change brake pump when we change discs? I asked this because for example, I change my brake discs from a normal lancer to a vrm or a vr4 one, but I still keep the original brake pump. Does the bigger discs worked in this case? Or it will actually cost more stress on the current pump?

 

Generally, how to know what are the various categories of brake discs we have?

 

Thanks for sharing!

if it is only marginally bigger than you do not need a bigger brake booster pump....

 

anyway, for good braking, it is not just the front bite, it is the well balanced front and rear braking that counts....

Heard the cost is kinda high. And that might have some implications on the ABS if yrs has one...
