HR Drum Front End to Disc

Post by Coopa »

Hi all I have grabbed a drum brake HR front for my EK sedan.

To upgrade to disc can I use a complete assembly from a HQ, knowing that the stud pattern will change and I will need 14" wheels, if the complete HQ assembly can be used does any thing else need to be modded or purchased (other than master cyl & booster) and what will it do to the wheel offset??

Is there a better option???


Thanks in Advance
Matt, aka Coopa

I recon the upgrade to Hktg disc brakes are great and you keep the early stud pattern, Trev.

Do HKTG rotors and calipers fit HR disc stubs ?
