#22168, "Just installed Rear Disks...review"


          

They feel awesome...I got the brakes off my friend's GST, well actually I took the whole hub which only were 4 bolts. I had some whurring noises from the back, bad bearings so I had to get new hubs anyways. The hardest part of the install was the ebrake..if it weren't for that it would have been a breeze. I had the GSX front calipers and it made my pedal softer, but would bite like a mutha when needed. So I got SS lines and it made only a little difference still a soft pedal - meaning that when I would push the pedal I wouldn't get alot of bite and it felt like the first 1/4 of the pedal was barely braking. So then I put on the rear disks...it made the pedal alot harder. So now only a little pedal modulation gets the job done. Had to get used to it cuz it's sorta twitchy. Also I noticed that without the rear disks my car would dive forward after a fast stop now it's more stable when braking at high speeds. And it looks alot better too, painted the calipers cast alumminum to match the fronts. I used the stock rotors and used pads, I'm looking for rear rotors that match my RSversion ones (x drilled/ slotted with blue hats) but can't find some at a reasonable price.

lets say that mine came with rear discs, are they the same ones as the TSi or GST ones? solid disk with drums inside (parking/e-brake)

or do the TSi and GST ones look different? or is it the caliper?
