i was surfing another forum for another car but have some questions that only the guys with SCs are smart enough to answer.
when converting from drum to disc brakes, on the rears, what type of techincal problems might i run into?
Forget about brakets and fitment and that stuff.
what i want to know is this. when you change from drums to disc, will there be any fluid type problems. obviously the wheel cylinder has a much smaller surface area for the fluid to push on, versus the caliper piston. therefore when changing to disc, i would effectively be lowering the pressure to the rear brakes. however, the proportioning valve should compensate for that, (i think). is the proportioning valve not based on pressure regulation??? also what about a car with a power booster, would there be any kind of difference when changing brake systems??
thanks for the help
