Hey guys I want to upgrade my st brakes to sx brakes What do I need I have sx hubs, calipers, handbrake hardware and cables What brake line parts will need changing ? Just the flexible hoses ?
Sorry mate I don't know what spec your car is. Do you have 4 bolt hubs and/or rear drums? I think your idea isn't good, rather look for some ST182/5 or ST165 brakes which should bolt straight on and you can use those hubs as well if you wanted. Rear brakes on 162/5 and 182/5 are all the same apart from the drum version found on early AT/ST16x. Hoses on your car should fit all the above edit : 18x hubs use different balljoints/shocks but can be modded so maybe leave out the hubs
Yeah, the early OZ 162 is a strange animal, I had a 5 bolt drum fitted on my Corona 162 as well. The rear disk and bearing will bolt straight on, you will need other hoses and cables for those. The hubs you have don't have caliper mounts so you need to swap the entire hubs as complete units. Later 162 front brakes and hubs will bolt straight on, later 165 brakes/hubs will be even better.
I have later model complete 5 stud hubs will the bolt up straight on the rear And do I have to change any of the brake lines
I have rubber hoses on the rear of my car from factory so I believe it's just a matter of swapping hoses
