Reply to "550 Spyder good times heading my way"



Its always better to do it right the first time.  Any info on how easy or hard it is to swap the system to a wide 5 around all corners?

The front is easier than the rear. In front, you usually need ball joint drum brake spindles. There are two different ones: small and large tie-rod holes. You don't want drop spindles either.

The rear depends on whether you want disc or drum and if you have long or short axles. If you stay with rear drum, all you need to swap is the drum itself to get wide5.

If you go discs it gets a little more complicated.

Let us know EXACTLY what you have and what you want to end up with and we can help.

I'm the only wacko who wants extreme braking. I drive the car VERY hard sometimes and even track it. I have 4 piston front calipers, single piston rear w/ebrake, and solid drilled rotors all around. I have regular pads on the rear and track/street on the front. They do not fade, they just work. EVERY SINGLE TIME. No drama, just brakes. Sometimes they make a little noise, but I can live with that.
