Another rear disc swap done!

[njjfudge]

I helped ATLGalant do the swap in his G today. I thought I was going to just be able to watch, supervise, and take pics but he made me get my hands dirty.















Any other I4 G's with rear drums that want disc in my area and not sure how to do it get at me.

May I ask what good it does to swap the rear to disc brakes? I thought the front brakes are used to stop the car?

They are both used to stop the car
the front is 70% of the braking, the rear is 30%

Therefor you will stop better with 4 wheel discs

I wish I was down this past weekend to help out guys. ATL did tell me he was about to do the swap the other day when I talked to him. What car did you use as a donor to do the swap? Y'all keep getting your hands dirty, cause I might need your help doing the same swap if I get this '99 that I see in the paper for $900. It says it "only needs some engine work". So between all of use, I'll bet I can get that bad boy rolling. It would be great to have 2 8G's at the house along with the 7G. Y'all know I got enough parts for 2 Galants anyway.

If you do that we will come over and put ALL YOUR PARTS on the one you have now...so you can get some space.

looks good bro

Thanks Man... Nick is the SHIT!!! All that time around B19 is paying off.

good job, how longed it take you?

Really about 2 hrs. Give or take. Nick was superfast. I was trying to put on the left side and he took the right drum off, bolted up and tighten everything and I wasn't even done with the left side.

And they look better!!!

...What car did you use as a donor to do the swap?...

It was a 96 Eagle Talon. There is still a set for a Dodge avenger out there.

You also lower the chance of locking up your front breaks. If you don't adjust or have your drums adjusted around every 3 months your breaking might be 100% front/0% back. People drive crazy in Atlanta and it took nothing to lock up my front breaks not long after the drums were serviced. Now that I have done the swap I have not locked up the breaks since, and I had to break really hard the other day when a crazy person jumped across 3 lanes I was able to stop fest and not lock up my breaks and loose control.
