err... dunno leh.... but most not plug n play rear disc brakes has rather similar installation method...

skim ur drum hub till barely nothng.... the hub acts as a place for the rotors to sit on... den go engineering shop custom a bracket for the calipers to sit on nicely.... hook everything up and u're good to go....

well, of coz its not as simple as i said lah... u will certainly tumble into a couple of minor problems...

main difference is during high speed braking... it helps alot... low speed braking around town, not much help....

I did rear disk in my AE80 sedan. I had to replace all the front and rear ones. it was mainly becouse i fit ae101 s rear disk, which was 1" bigger then my stock ones.

I think it is possible to get OEM rear disks in malaysia. but the brake fluid line and hand brake cable have to be shifted also.

and if the OEM is not available, then i think i have seen SPOON have after market disks for Vios.

Vios can fit in Nissan 4 pot front and 2 pot rear. I saw 1 Vios in Mantin with this setup using 16 inch rim. The caliper and rim clearance damn small..

Possibly this is the first 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi to bite the dust. Even though the above -picture of the crashed JDM STi looks like the car suffered only minor damages, if you take a look at the rear quarter images, you’ll see that we’re probably talking about a write off. According to Caradvice, the driver of the STi had managed to clock a mere 282 km or 175 miles. Talk about bad luck…...
