Has anyone done a rear disc brake conversion on a 95 metro 2 door?
I see on e-bay someone has a set up for a 89-94 swift.
would this fit on the 95? if not, does anyone have a setup that would fit.
we use the car for delivering papers and make about 800 stops a day.
Thanks for your help on this project.

Here's a link to the teamswift site dealing with this type of swap. Sounds like it's more work than the reward....

Oh it's worth it. The added stopping power of the discs is incredible. But, you will still have smaller front discs which is a big problem. Your brake bias is gonna be very fu@#ed up. You'll end up locking the rear brakes up before the fronts. Does your 95' have a 1.0 or 1.3 currently?

It is a 1.3 with a automatic trans.

Ahh, good. The 1.3 axles will fit just fine into GT hubs. It's quite a lot of work, but the improvement in braking is really good. If it's just a daily driver, maybe stainless steel brake lines would be an easier upgrade.
