    Rear disk brakes on a fox

    Has anyone switched from drums to disks on here? Was it a PITA? What all would i need to do the switch?

    Thanks in advance!

    You're going to need an adjustable proportioning valve to adjust the brake bias for the rear discs. You will also need to bypass/disable the stock valve so it used as just a distribution block.

    I'm pretty positive you will need a different volume master cylinder and booster to accompany it (sn-95), however I"m not sure if the stock master is capable of providing enough fluid to the rear calipers.

    You will need to get different axles unless you go with 4 lug discs.

    Sounds like a man who's done it. haha I was planning on going 4 lug because i'm on a budget and can't afford the axles right now. Where would i get the the adjustable proportioning valve? I'm new to all this brake lingo lol

    you need to change your 3 line master cylinder to a 2 line
    if you want to go 5 lug, used sn95 axles are cheap

    That would be your best bet. Get some sn axles, the antimoan brackets and calipers. Summit sells the cables and you can keep your center cable stock. Just dont weld the parking brake ratchet like all the other knuckleheads do. Listen to me and it will be great.
