Brake/Suspension Upgrade

Post by Lonewolf »

Before i go droppin the B280 i'm going to upgrade the brakes, suspension and the rear axle.

Brakes: Has anyone swapped to bigger/better disks on the front, i'm gonna try to find some good ones from another model car thats got trik brakes, what dimensions will need to be the same or close?
As for the rears, whats involved in swapping to disks?

Suspension: Would i be wasting my time converting the leaf setup in the rear to a coil setup? What areas here could do with upgrading as all i've come up with is the shocks, springs and a front strut tower bar.

I got the rear axle sorted, it'll be solid as a rock when finished.

Just curious. What are you going to do with rear axle? Swap in a one from 240 or reinforce current one or what?
