howdy, i've tracked down the brakes that i'm getting but i just wanna make sure that i get the best price. i'm hoping someone who reads this will have some experience or know what these should cost me, also it'd be great if you could even just point me in the right direction for where to find them...

brakes are from a late model AE92 SX seca/GTi ... 258mm diameter, 22mm thickness, vented disks; then also need the calipers to go with it.

From what i've read it's just a straight bolt on job to replace my 238(?)mm solid disks and calipers atm.

Any useful info appreciated, thanks.

yep, easy as piss, i did it a few weeks ago and its sweet.

 

take off old caliper assembly and put the new one on

btw i paid 200 for mine (i think) with about 75% left on pads and discs... rebuilt calipers and greenstuff pads. i got a good deal tho

I paid about $100 for a complete rear disc upgrade. $200 for front? Prob try to beat them down a bit more!

UPDATE:

thanks heaps for the prices, i ended up getting something less because the oppertunity was good. from my experience, in tassie when something good shows its head you don't hesitate so i got me the same size brakes but ventilated so hopefully they do a bit better.

if anyone else has a similar query, i got my 238mm ventilated disks with calipers all together for $135. haven't installed yet (waiting for weekend) but i hope that all the parts are in as good nick as they look.

Should be a fair bit better than what you were using as you wont get as much brake fade now. :)

guys, i need some help quick (no, not mental assistance :P). i've tracked down some rear disk brakes froma ae82 and i still don't know if i can get these on my car.

i've heard already that there is a possible conversion and it needs the rear most suspension arms or something (not really sure), but i'm not sure whether this is referring to using the ae82 parts. i'm looking it up on google but nothing so far. quick responses appreciated, i'd rather these don't get snapped up by someone else only to find out that they'd suit my car later on.

hope u guys can help me out. cheers

with the ae82 rear brakes u appreantly don't need to change the control arms, but I'm not 100% sure on this though, coz i went with the sx rears where i needed to change the rear most controls arms.

.... not sure if i made that as clear as i could. I have a ae92, there's a ae82 sitting in a wreckers yard that's got rear disks on it. on the net all i've found is advice on getting ae92 rear disks on, not ae82 ones. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what parts i need to take off the donor car, but also if there's any point at all since i'm not sure if they're compatible.

obviously ur gonna need the hubs/rotors, calipers, brake lines, handbrake cables, dust cover.

 

plus i was stating that u apprently don't have to change and any of the suspension if ur going to use the rears disc from a ae82 on an ae92.
