Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

maibe use stock brakedisks and aftermarket calipers like brembo or sumtin like that

i just googled rear brakecallipers and there where a lot of links to frosen calipers problems on all sorts of cars and trucks , guess there just a little more maintanance involved in them

strainge thing is i have reardisks on a mercedes 190 (ok its a real lichtweight compared to a truck ) but no problems with brakepads wearing irregulair or callipers seizing up , maibe dust sand mud and stuff like that has some to do with it as we only have asphalt roads and green country where i drive
these mercs have a mecanical drumbrake inside the disk for the emergencybrake btw
