Hi,

I own a jap imported MY93 1.6 impreza sport. About 3 months ago the rear wheel bearings failed. I have been trying to get hold of the bearings for ages now to find out that they are discontinued.

So my new solution is to change the rear hubs/drums etc to WRX/turbo disc settup.

My car has already had WRX/turbo brakes fitted to the front.

What I need to know is can the rear hubs/drums be swapped over i.e. are the drive shafts the same? Is the diff the same?

I understand through the workshop manual that the gearbox is the same.

Do 2.0ltr sports have rear drums? If so has anyone done any kind of conversion like this??

I seem to remember a white 2 door 1.6 on here around Christmas time that was in Ireland. The owner of that was planning a rear brake conversion, does anyone know what came of that???

Help needed please – I want my car back!!!

 

if you get the hubs complete it shouldn't be too dificult the mounts etc will be the same shaft sizes might be a problem though

you would need to make new brake pipes for the rear hub area as they will be different

handbrake is a drum in the middle of disc you should be able to just conect the cables up to your lever

 

yeah iv'e been told that everything should connect fine except maybe the shafts,

does anyone else know how much i'm looking at for 2nd hand hubs/brakes ?
