Hi guys, I own a 7AFE 1996 1.8 ST
My rear hand brake is too high and my rear brakes are starting to give me crap.. it looks rusty and old.. Time for a re-build! So my question, what rear brakes are available for me? I'm after more upgrade then stock... Size? Just any info so I don't get the wrong stuff Thanks |

Go to Tire Rack's site and enter your vehicle information, which will give you the exacting hardware that fits. From there, you will have a basis for part numbers.
I recommend blank Brembo rotors on all four corners if you can afford it, but if not, just do the rear. This will involve a bit of finagling but will be a great upgrade and will rid you of the cursed drum brake. To go with those fancy new rotors, I would recommend Hawk HPS pads, although a stock-like replacement is certainly also possible. http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/hps.php -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
