Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

Theres a sprint track near me that hold days there... £65 - 5 mins of fun to yourself then join the back of the queue - keep the numbers down and you can lap all day on an empty track effectively. Keeps wear down too.... anyone interested in an event like this in the midlands?

Depends whereabouts in the midlands

Also, I hate the look of the dummy discs, at least, they look bad in photos. I'd rather just paint my drums.

Looks like Berlin Tuning have a rear disc kit too now. It's pricey though.

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

if got a question. when the disc eventually wears out, how do you go about getting a replacement set?

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

You can buy discs from PM/National/AP, anybody that makes discs. Its only the alloy bells that are specific to smart.
I have made a set up for the rears using two piece discs and you can have any size disc you want

Why do you think I bought a Forfour??!! Rear discs already!! Ooo, that makes the rest of the car worth £3k!! Damn!

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

Back to brakes..

I have to disagree that adding disc brakes to the rear is only a track mod. But adding more bite in the rear without adjusting the bias is doomed. How much you would have to adjust it depends on other suspension charateristics?.. But, as at least the roadster has a weight distribution of 40/60"roughly" it need at least the same size brakes in the rear as on the front to maximise mechanical grip.

Obviously ignorant to the concept of 'weight transfer'.

In other words, bin the ABS and learn how to use the brakes proper..

In other words bin the effective aspects of the braking system and pretend you are better...

Without EBS, fortwo brakes are nothing like as effective.
With EBS and ABS I can late left foot brake mine to the point of the rear starting to break away. Without ABS? Not a chance of getting that close!!

Yeah I meant EBD.

And yep, an 18 mnth old thread (but it was there). Dragged up by Ryan who secretly wants Trashie to come round and shove a poppy up his @rse. Deserves it the cheeky cvnt. Or is he Trashie. Come on Ryan, WTF you trying to say?

Re: Chequerd Flag working rear disc brake

I will eventually do a fitting guide for these kits on my site including a price and place of purchase for a standard size rear brake disc kit.

I can't seem to find anything as stated on the Evilution site! Did anything ever materialize?
