I've been wondering about that for a long time. What are the relative merits of each kit? Right now, I have no basis to choose one over the other.

 

Its a good project. We had a customer and I wanted discs so we ordered Eurasian parts for one conversion of rear drums to discs and a kit from A&J Racing.
The EurAsian conversion is as involved as your project, reqquiring much accurate re-machining and ordering parts considerably smaller than the US Fit. We got 'er done but not recommended. It more costly too.
A&J's kit is very good. All parts fit easily and are beeffier;our only issue was welding brackets on the axle to hold the parking brake cables and hydraulic lines. Riveted ones would work too but being fanatics ...Freaking out Fit owners and salespeople is entertaing enough but the brakes are really valuable for pad replacement and racetrack use.
I suspect the cost of A&J's kit is probably about the same as your project; hope A&J gets a group buy)
Did you finish?

 

I'm going to the Philippines next month,
I know that jazz over there has rear disks,
Can someone tell me what parts I need???
rotors
calipers
pads
spindles
ebrake cables

???

 

Yes. hubs, spindles & backplates, discs, back shields, calipers, pads, brake lines and parking brake cables, spindle nuts, and of course when they get to the states you'll need to machine very accurately bolt holes, bolt pattern, and size on spindle backplates to fit American axle. We already got them and have installed them with great expense, A&J's kits are a better bargain.

 

err, I thought it would be mostly bolt on, with "all" the parts coming from the jazz.

 

so how much for the A&J's kits cost??? I didnt find it on their site....

 

The pre-sale was $650+ shipping.
Call ben and see if you can still get in on this...

Yes I thought so too, and from the parts pages it could have easily been so. But once you get the parts in hand the differences are very apparent. Obviously, both Honda engineers and lawyers decided the USA ain't part of the same world.

 

thx aliencowboy ....

 

Any update?

 

excellent post I need to work on my rear brakes and this helps you have provided better info than my manual which is sadly lacking will put your wisdom to work.

 

Anyone still interested in an official Honda rear disc conversion??
Started a new thread!

 

this is sickkkk

 

I know it has been over years, but anyone still doing it? I can help you guys on parts. Also, maybe some of you just need to come out adapters. Like on my b15, I sell/import brackets to b15 fellow whoever has drums. I have done this on my car, and this mod is worth for to spend.

 

You should contact the admins and try to register as a vendor/merchant if you are going to keep trying to sell us stuff. Especially parts that don't exist yet.

 

I will, but like i said in my intro I will wait a lil bit :d.
Gotta learn from you guys chassis since I don't know anything about. And I don't wanna mislead any folks out here Thanks for the advice.

Anyway, I have quite plentful experience on rear discs swapping so hopefully can help out here

I seriously hate drums...but have you guys thought about rear brembo or 2 pistons in the back? especailly usdm FIt come with drums so will be a lot easier to do.

 

Ahh I want to put disc on the back toooooo my cuz told me he knows a place cost 1 bill but want to diy should I?

 

Any updates?

 

Creative alternative. I have a Wilwood set from my Civic Hatchback that I am trying to adapt to the 2010 Fit. I am hoping to simply fabricate a bracket or use a Wilwood bracket, and cut the aluminum hat for the correct offset. I will not be experimenting until this spring. And the 2010 Fit is my daily commuter so it cannot be down for longer than a few hours at a time. Laready put 12.19" Wilwoods on the front.

 

I would love to put disc brakes on the rear of my 2011 fit.
