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

probably a dumb question. if you switch from drums to rotors in the rear... will the ebrake shoes still fit and work with the rotor?

I don't believe so. & You shouldn't reuse old pads when upgrading to a different setup

good to know... so im assuming there would be no use for the ebrake anymore. just leave the car in gear when parking.... that's what im doing atm anyways.
