TF 160 rear brakes
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 12:33 pm
Hi all,
I need to replace the rear discs on my TF160- they've just about had it! Rather than replace like for like I was going to take the opportunity of uprating them- was thinking of the 266mm VHS big brake kit. Has anyone fitted these and if so, what's your view on them? Also, are there any other options you could recommend that I should be looking at?
Aside from the aesthetics in that the AP's and big brake discs on the front look awesome when compared to the seemingly puny set up on the rear- would I be right in thinking that as a rear wheel drive car, the brakes on the rear could be doing an awful lot more to stop the car? A little concerned about brake balance regarding such a conversion too- any advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Stuart
