stef123 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 no need to change the rear 'axle' or subframe. just change over the stub axles and hubs. you will need handbrake cables and brake hoses to suit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 fair enough. its pretty straight forward to change, just heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just make sure that you find out about whether the brake master/slave cylinders need changing to allow for the increased fluid transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
