m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Fair point. Do you know if there is any disc brake setups that would fit a hunter? for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 discs are gay, stick with drums much better for handbrake skids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0ss4yy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Lol, yeah true. but i seem to have problems with the wheel cylinders a lot... dont know why they keep fucking out. Bleed the brakes properly everytime, and had the lines cleared out. No idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 There is no problem with the origonal back shocks when lowering the car. just watch for the drive shaft rubbing on the tunnel as you can blow a drive shaft universal out, when you go over a bump. 2" blocks and three people in the back gets you very close to hitting the floor. If your running 13" rims the lip of the guard would be about even with the lip of the rim when things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTD Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 specially if you are running wider than standard rims pop goes the tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 If you lowering it there is a lot of side ways travel in the leaf springs when cornering. This normaly kills any tires and rim setup wider than standard. You can get a diaganal linkage and anti tramps put in to stop this, will cost money $$$. If you stiffen the back end up like this be carfull driving as the factory sloppyness helps with traction and driveability. It will tend to brake out when cornering hard, well before the point it used too. Alright if you like drifting but would need some more power.
