octavia rear brake upgrade

[bradfordvrs]

Hi guys need some advice please am doing the brake upgrade for my fabia using octy vrs rear brakes and calipers just wanting to know what else I will I know I need the carriers just stuff like will the fabia handbrake cable fit and all other fitting?

Handbrake cables and brake pipes will fit, you'll need to either remove the OE fabia disc shield or at least cut the lip of it off otherwise the Octavia discs will foul them

WHy bother? Under hard braking the rear wheels on an FWD car are doing approximately nothing.

What a load of rubbish!

If they do nothing, then what is the point in having them fitted?

That's pretty obvious, to fill the hole in the centre of the wheel!!!

 

And the higher the performance the car is the bigger discs and bigger multi pot calipers are needed to fill the bigger wheels.........
