Title: Brake question
Post by: jasonr70002 on September 17, 2009, 10:08:14 AM
Hey fellas this might be a bit left field but can you fit/adapt the 4 piston volvo brakes and calipers to fit HR disc front end?

Anything is possible with enough time and money  ;D I think some Torrie boys were messing around with the idea on the gmh-torana forum, not sure if it got off the ground though, might be worth a hunt.

Having designed lots of brake kits, of course it's possible. The problems you face are having to make up a set of custom hubs and a special bracket to suit the caliper mounting bolts.

In essence a brake kit needs the offset adjusted to suit the rotor and the caliper positioned so it will clear the steering and suspension components.
