thinking on rear disc brakes on 2nd gen.

[budweiser]

what would you need to do this conversion.
taking the disc brakes all round of a lexus ls 400 and try to fit them on a 2nd gen. the wheels are factory 16 inch and 5 nuts. (i hope makes sense)
the first thing i see is to make some kind of 30mm spacer to convert from 5 nuts to 6 that all surf wheels got.
saying the simplest bit, what else would you think it be needed?
thanks

cool, thanks, shame they didnt do it with a "european" car, instead they used a chevy rotors for it,
i was thinking it might someone used an popular vehicle here in this side of the water, for the brake pads/disc/calipers.
thanks, its good to see that page.

Rear discs

J.C.,how do.If you look back on the general section to the 21st November 2012 ,a thread by a surfer called Turbo Steve,one of his first pictures is of a rear axle with a disc brake conversion kit for surfs,dont know the cost but it might be worth dropping him a p.m.

Disc brake mod

As Sy says,does the lspv work with this mod,if not how is it adjusted and how do you know if it is set up correct.

I rarely use the handbrake,I usually just stick it in park,is this safe,is it legal??
