Put a set of Hilux s12+8 Calipers on the front of the coupe today and took it for a spin to get a feel of how good the upgrade was. At this point Im still running the stanza drum brakes on the rear and the car has a 180b booster.

The next job and I have started is putting the R31 diff and brakes in the rear.

Anyway when I took it for a spin, under hard braking I found that I was locking the rear drums when the weight shifted to the front of the vehicle.

Anyway Im curious, before I get finished if the situation will be better when I go to disc's on the rear as well?

The Hilux brakes are certainly better and probally the reason the vechile is dipping to the front under hard braking as the old Stanza Girlocks were not that good and with stuffed rotors they were inadequate.

Cheers
