#25600, "Pics of side of the car that shows your brake setup..."




          

^^^ I'm looking for how the all-disk brake setup looks like. I was curious because most of the rear brakes I've seen pointed forward to the front. BUT recently I saw a car with the rear brakes(caliper stuff) pointed to back side(this is not the car I saw, but this is what the second setup looks like). => http://www.fast-autos.net/mitsubishi/concepte2.jp g

ALSO: for those who have done the rear drum to disk, gsx upgrade, simply replacing rotors... HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU GET THE ROTORS OFF? The emergency brake stuff on mine were on so tight, some of the components got damaged while I was removing the rotors. Is that normal?

You really can't get any more help than WickedESi just gave you, but for a bigger picture if you need it...

Ok, thanks guys! I'll be doing my swap this weekend or next...
I've read Gorkor's and Hades' swaps, but none of them seem to talk about the emergency/side brake cable. Can I use the RS(drum) with my new disk setup? Also, there is adjusting bolt looking thing, what do I do with it? it's p/n 52301 in http://www.2gnt.com/CAPS/main35/main35sub160.html any idea?

just curious---why do some people have the "slots" in the slotted rotors facing "forward", while others have theirs rearward? (both cars shown have each setup, we'll call the white tsiAWD "forward")

just curious..
