Hand Brakes!

[starscream]

Im driving a wira with converted engine and rear disc brake. It seems that they only assist less than 10% of the braking. The rear disc brake pads are rarely change, the disc looks smooth & there is no cove at the tip of the disc. means it has never really been use. i was hoping to get hand brake stop effect at 80km +, but mech says it not possible. any advice ??

yea... converted (not oem) rear drum brakes to disc brakes doesnt have a good grip on the handbrake/ebrake.... there are only some mechanics who manages to fine tune it to achieve good grip on the handbrake....

what else u can do is.... get rear disc brake set with inner drum brakes mainly for the handbrake.... example of such sets are perdana rear disc brake.... it has a handbrake mechanism that utilises drum brake assym...
