KZN185G/W front brake differences

[galooph]

Hi,

I was planning to replace the brake discs on my KZN185G (the narrow body version), but I've noticed that the G version uses 297x22mm discs while the W (wide body) version uses 319x22mm discs.

I'm assuming that the KZN185G was originally fitted with 15" wheels, hence the smaller discs.

From what I can see, the larger discs are much more widely available. My truck's already got 16" wheels on, so I was wondering if anyone has fitted the larger discs/calipers (and dust shield) from the wide body onto the narrow body.

The steering knuckle is the same part number on both models, so I don't think there'll be an issue, but it's always good to know if it's been done before!

Thanks,

Dan

I assume the hub conection is the same, so you need 13WM calipers, and the aforementioned 319mm rotors (same as Prado 90 series), and db1323 pads.
Dustshield I don't know about.

Thanks for the info, floatingkiwi!
