Type 2 disk brakes

Post by clement »

Hi Guys

I am currently sorting the suspension on my double cab and would like to upgrade to front discs, is anything like that available in SA or is the only option to get it from overseas?

I've just had a set made up by Dave Rowley, they apparently put the wheels out by 15mm.

Sounds good, how much does Dave charge for it if I may ask.

As long as it is based on the stock spindle setup you will be sorted.
