hai, i currently own a ford fiesta and want convert my rear drum brake to disc.
can anyone tell me the cost for toyota AE or mazda 323 rear disc brake and custom made bracket . really wish my fiesta can having rear disc brake.
 
just lets warranty void. any idea for rear drum to disc conversion? i goggle hav perodua car use civic eg n toyota AE disc for conversion. coz Asean ford fiesta center bore is 54mm, so i decide use toyota or mazda kit.
 
Give my mechanic a call, he's out in Sungai Buloh but he's got Sunway skills :) 0193769977 - Yan, tell him Jason dsport sent you.

he fabricated the calipers and the brackets of Civic Ek4 brakes for my ride. i bought new rotors and brake pads.
 
thx ixeo, my area at JB. seem too far. but wat ur ride thats fixed Ek caliper? wat rotor u buy? any hand brake problem?
 
myvi, but i did front only. my other friend did front and back EK at the same place.. no problems..
 
rear disc oni for show off. dun u think fiesta exterior look so nice but the drum is a off..

like potong stim oni so nice then suddenly drums only at the rear
im suprised they couldnt just slot in some discs at the back as well
i think all new cars these days have discs both front and back right:hmmmm:
 
can always put fake rotor spacers ma.. with belembo calipers haha!

anyway, in the market got alot of honda brakes made for myvi..

i've made some research on brake set conversion.. typically any or shld i say, almost all brakes can be fabricated to a car (not taking into account of upgrading other necessary parts like brake pump etc etc when using higher pot/larger caliper set). just need to get the right PCD, and make sure rims can clear the brake kit. of course, not forgetting the most important part, need to fabricate bracket to hold the brakes. i guess most engineering shops that custom rim spacers, knuckles etc etc can make the bracket for u..

this is just my own knowledge from what ive read on the internet..
if i have made any mistakes, sifu pls correct. am still learning :)

hello Artworkz
You can get AE101 rear disc brake assembly with the hand brake cables for abt Rm 600 ringit.. chk the scrap wards in Permas Jaya.
 
i just check AE disc brake kit at kulai, johor halfcut yard, rm450 oni. mazda need 650. so i settle with toyota AE disc+caliper.lucky ford fiesta h/brake cable have adaptor, so very easy to sambung with caliper h/brake mechanisim. wish the disc offset can clear the bearing hub. the caliper pump seems need to overhaul before fixed for the best.
any johorian where is the best machine shop at jb? i wanna custom a caliper bracket.
Thx
