Can change rear drum brake to disc brake?

 

What's the pros and cons of disc brakes vs drum brakes, other than visual appearances?

[Eavr4]

At the end of the day...it depends on the car's design and how its gonna be driven.

 

Setup of the footwork etc//

 

Varies.

well, from what i know... disc brakes have better braking power, able to cool faster and of cus looks good..

To me braking power is the most important thing i look for..

sorry i only know pros.. i donno abt cons of disc brakes... more EX and have to replace brake pads offen??

[Roboto]

So far only know 1 con for disc brake.

Brake dust.

You have to wash your rims regularly or else will change to brown colour.

I went to Ah Koon and he charged me $90.

 

 

can help to check 4 me if Ah Koon have wat so called 'Bendix Metal King Plus' for my new Aveo sedan?

and isit cheaper than Optra?

 

 

[Botak]

It should be the same. Brake pad only 1 size.

[Aveolution]

by theory Aveo brakes are different from Optra.

Optra has 4 disc brakes But Aveo only front disc brake & rear drum brakes.

[Aveolution]

so for Aveo front is brake discs so only using 2 brake pads should be cheaper than Optra... 4 brake pads

[Xiaogary]

Can change to bigger brake disc and caliper?

I feel that the brake disc looks small compared to my 17 inch rims.

 

Going to taiwan end of this month, maybe will buy a set back, but duno whether will fit. I just tell the shop 4 X 100 can already right?

 

Planning to get 300mm disc and a 4 piston caliper.

[Aveolution]

Yup... just tell the shop ur rotor is 4x100
