Handbrake Shoes ?

[konect]

Hey gents and lady.

Getting my handbrake shoes changed tomoz and just wondering what they interchange with ?

I have a rear disk for normal brakes and drum for handbrake. Also car was NA from factory so I thought perhaps NA S13 ?

Any input would be greeeeat! Thanks

s13's dont have drum handbrakes so that rule's that out. I'd be looking at s14's or r32's or something... but pull yours out and find something that matches them.

have you done urs? i remember something about you wanting to tighten the handbrake so thought you might have done them.

Im thinking R32 atm :S

nah i just adjusted them, the shoes still have meat left in them.

i was going to get some URAS handbrake shoes.. but they are expensive at 212bucks for shoes!

yeh fark that. thats like 20% of a 5 stud upgrade

s14 is disc handbrake... just like sils

r32/r33 are the same

uras ones would be good for supposed performance enhancement

well... i bought the URAS brake shoes... they're the same as 32 and most other drum applications...

here is a pic of them installed (obviously without the disc on)

Turns out the shoes were ok but they were out of alignment and weren't grabbing the drum properly.

Had to get the rear pads replaced after been told by another place on saturday that they were fine.

Grrr

Also, do you notice a difference with the uras ones ?

[huddy]

havent had a chance to fully test them yet hehe...

I have to ask is there anything you can do with the uras ones you can't do with stockies or is the marketable factors of uras ones that they last longer or something?

so is this true for the s14 disc brake ? Do they bolt on to the rear of the ceffy? direct replacement?...and are they twin piston likie the 32s and 33s?

thanks ...sorry for going off topic a bit

direct replacement

modify handbrake cables and thats it...

single piston s14/s15... not twin like 32/33

so over stock a31 rb20det rear brakes are the pistons any larger? .........might need to go check this out as a brake upgrade.

to me it looks the same... put it this way - it wont be a downgrade... youll have 5 stud and larger rotors

the other thing you can do

use the s14 stub axles and hubs... then get 32/33 rear rotors... and use something that runs disc handbrake that isnt single pot caliper...

OR just use your standard stub axles - use 32 hubs... you get to keep your drum handbrake setup... and use 32/33 rotors n calipers (what ive done)

direct bolt on! less muckin

yea well at the moment i am staying 4 stud .........i already have wheels(which are awesomeand 4 stud)...yeas i could sell and go through all that agin but i really cant be bothered ....its cheaper to stay 4 stud at this point in time ...thats why i was just talking about callipers not hubs ...........in the end i may go 5 stud but ............but its just going to be a pain in the arse now ....

[darcey]

^^^ just use all the R32 rear gear (caliper, disk and drum hand brake), use your original hub and get your disk redrilled to 4 stud...stock handbrake cables fit and everything else bolts up

Don't see why this wouldn't work...
