S13 Hubs on ae86 ??

[Rascal21]

From what I`ve gathered, stock brakes are good for up to 350hp in the AE86 using ventilated discs and trackday pads, the brake force distribution lay in the brake master cylinder.


My friend likes to do things right, all he ever had a problem with was fried (distorted) rear discs (non ventilated), after he went over to vented front discs in the rear that problem disappeared and the brake BIAS remained the same due to same brake fluid flow from master cylinder to rear calipers.

Wilwood/AP is too hardcore for these little cars, and theyre not only expensive to buy, but also expensive to maintain and not easy to set up, you`d need an adjustable brake pedal box w/custom cylinder, Girling for example, and these are not easy to adjust perfectly either, plus you`d get no vacuum assist from the brake booster (Unless you were hoping that a stock master cylinder would work...) so you`ll have different braking for each push on the brake pedal, and constantly having to adjust the BIAS when changing discs/pads, bleeding the system, testing, adjusting, and shim the brake discs so that they are alligned with the axles and the calipers, it`s a constant battle of working it out and it`s a complete PITA

Speaking from experience, I`d be more than happy with a vented OEM setup all around.


The question imho is, what kind of driving is the OP wanting to do?
