Brand New Disc Brake Conversion

[munky]

Guys, im thinking of changing my rear drum brakes to disc brakes, and im looking for brand new (not 2nd hand or chop shop). So what's the cheapest brand out there that i should look for ? And usually how much does the conversion cost ?

In sunway all i can find is project mu and spoon (caliper only) and they are f**king expensive. Dont mention brembo, ap racing, alcon bla bla, until i die also cannot afford

P/S: it's for honda accord sv4

try australian brand... but i think it's not big diff weather it's new or sec, if sec it's a lot easier and cheap compare new one.. but it still depend on u, what u want..

hehe, if wan brand that cheaper, try ask Grippen... heard the price was quite reasonable...

but seriously, u get from chop shop are MORE cheaper and easier for the conversion...

or u can buy the used caliper from chop shop, then get urself a new disc rotor lo... :D

 

[amad108..]

yes, agree with nicky7...

i dont mind chop shop/2nd hand, but my dad ask me to find brand new.

Anyway, where can i get this grippen brand ? do they sell complete set i.e rotor/caliper/brake pads/cable etc ?

one more question, can i buy a new bigger rotor with caliper and put it at the front, and take the front rotor, put it at the rear ?

u cant put the front caliper to rear, the knuckle or something is not match (sorry not so sure wat stuff already), was told my mechanic long time ago... so u still need to get a accord rear caliper or disc, or a aftermarket caliper or disc...

for front, sure u can change to bigger caliper and rotor... upgrade to 2 pot for front la... hehe...

Went to sunway today and asked amoil n kakimotor. They said if wanna change from drum to disc, need to go chop shop. Coz need so many things like the hand brake la, shaft bla bla bla i dunno wat else hehe. Brand new rotors/calipers can be used after u convert, meaning it's for upgrade

Nicky7, i didnt check the price la of spoon n grippen la coz i dunno where to find grippen. Btw ebc rotor kakimotor selling it for RM880 (for honda i think coz they tampal there 'dohc vtec' ) . Btw spoon caliper in n1 is 4 pot not twin pot
