G'day

Just Wondering What alternative Disk Brakes there are around, and what is involved to replace 8.4 Disks... Im running 15" Alloys on my moke, so leaves a bit more room there to play with...


Cheers,
Daniel.

ive got the metro turbo 8.4inch ventilated discs with 4 piston calipers on mine... Seem to work very good, pulled me up with ease at wakefield park hitting close to 200kph coming into the first corner. Done 15-20 laps and didnt get any brake fade either, running black stuff pads.

Yeah XR8 running the same system and they work very well. You cold probably look a running some other system but there would be alot of work trying to get them to fit on some sort of hub??

is there any reason why you guys opted for the metro turbo's instead of camiras?

well there is no modification needed with the metros, bolt straight on. No need for engineers, tried and tested for years, 4 piston caliper v single piston, ventilated disc (not sure if camiras came ventilated) mine cost cheaper then the camiras, and also the benefit of not having anything on my car from a bloody CAMIRA :D

But having said that if i couldnt find a set of metro turbo brakes cheap enough i would have gone the camiras i think. But then again they need a mini disc hub, so maybe if i had drums id go the 9 inch honda conversion......

Makka,
Nuke Mini has disc CVs on his so I guess either way works.
If running big wheels or racing, the disc CV setup is lots stronger.. :wink:
