Recommend a rear disc kit - 07/11/12 05:14 AM
I'm at the point of fed up with my current rear disc set-up, so I need to make a change over the coming winter. I currently have Wilwoods on the front, which work great, but the rear set is a functional but annoying bit of backyard engineering. Because I have 80's Camaro front calipers on Grand Cherokee rear rotors, I struggle with the pistons being extended a bit too far out of the bore. This gives the appearance of a lot more drag than should be there. After ten passes, there is a huge amount of pad dust inside my rear wheels, and the pads themselves show a remarkable amount of wear for the 300 or so actual miles they have on them.
Now, I hope the picture shows it properly, but the caliper bracket is a water jetted piece that is welded to the housing. I can pull the housing, zip-disc the bracket off, and completely smooth the housing if need be. Does anyone have any recommendations for replacing this set-up on my 9-inch?
