Why do the brake upgrade?
* 4x4 ute's brakes are smaller dimensioned to many of the family cars and SUVs.
* Once additional accessories and load is added, braking performance deteriorates further. It is not uncommon to see 400+ kgs of additional accessories added to the base vehicle (i.e. bull bar, winch ,lights, roof-rack, fridges, camping equipment, etc).
* Larger diameter tyres also detract from the vehicles braking performance.
Drum to Disc conversion: How Does it work?
The Ultimate 4WD Big Brake Upgrade Kit (Rear Kit) comes with a full drum to disc conversion kit.
The conversion kit removes all OE drum assembly and replaces it with the brake disc and hydraulic caliper.
The kit also contains a replacement park brake mechanism within the drum that is operated by the OE park brake cable.
The installation of the kit requires the removal of all components from the vehicle axles. This is why the kit comes complete with replacement bearings and seals (ABS rings and collars in some kits). |
