Title: Torrie brakes Post by: jasonr70002 on September 17, 2009, 04:23:54 PM I know it has been done before but what are the disadvantages of LC\LJ torrie stubs and brakes or should i use hr stubs and torrie calipers and rotors.
Title: Re: Torrie brakes Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on September 17, 2009, 04:29:36 PM LC/J gear throws the offsets etc out, I had that setup for a while with CRS stubs and HR steering gear. I had to run 1" spacers on the steering arms to get it to work and put up with a shocking turning circle and a sub-standard alignment because there was no adjustment left.
I now have an LH/X brake setup and it all works well and I am back to three point turns and even the odd u-turn or two ;D Title: Re: Torrie brakes Post by: jasonr70002 on September 17, 2009, 04:31:59 PM will hk t g work better

Title: Re: Torrie brakes Post by: mcl1959 on September 17, 2009, 06:29:49 PM Torana stub axles are wrong on a HR front end, There are pro's and con's for both HKTG versus LH LX brakes. There is very little advantage whatsoever fitting LC LJ Torana brakes on a HR front end.
Not sure if LC LJ hubs are the same as HR but I would not be surprised if they are because the brakes are very similar - 256 mm versus 253 overall diameter & 12 mm versus 11.7 thickness. The offsets are 60 and 55 mm respectively.
