Hey guys, I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before (if not, yay!) but I can't find it for some reason using search... Anyhow, I was wondering if it is possible to swap the rear drum brakes to disk types. I don't think I'm gonna autox my GE8 or slam on the brakes 2 feet before a car infront of me all the time but just curious if anyone done it and for how much money. Plus I would like to put a Brembo kit in the future just like my CR-V (yes, I have a $2.5k brake system on my tiny SUV... ). Thanks guys!

Here's a search tip. I never search a website. Always search from google directly. For example, in your case, I would enter this into google search:

rear disk brake conversion site:fitfreak.net

 

around $2000

 

yeah good link above

in addition...........

the hub plates ore welded on the GE, so you just might need a new torsion beam from another country.

 

Honestly speaking, not worth your time. The fronts do a majority of the braking, and the money spend getting JDM torsion beam/calipers/cables/hubs, etc could be better spent on new front rotors, good pads, stainless lines and fluid. Keep in mind you would also need a JDM brake master cyl/prop valve and quite possibly an ABS module flash.

Unless you were going to outright track the car, a rear disk conversion on an econobox like the Fit is totally useless.

 

agreed. i don't think it's worth the aggravation especially
if it's starts getting technical with the ABS stuff.

 

Wow, so it's way more than what I thought... Plus $2k? Holy sh8... I rather save that money for future supercharger upgrade if someone decide to make one of course

 

totally agree!!

there is a supercharger kit for the L15A7 now in Japan. it adds 30 HP for i think $3-5k

 

Has anyone tried to source parts from Honda Mexico?
it looks like they get the JDM version
Honda Autos | Honda Fit

Google Translate
They get
4 wheel disk brakes
6-way drivers seat
red instrument panel
LONG version

 

Wait a sec, the USDM fits are not equipped with disks on the rear? even the fit sports? wow, i just know that

 

If you're patient, the easiest way to source parts will probably be from the CR-Z when it becomes available . . . I'm hoping (but not optimistic) that it'll be backwards compatible to the GD.
