110 rear brakes on a 90
Hi
I've got a 90 XS, the rear pistons are partially seized and the discs are ready, I wanted who has done the 110 conversion and what parts are required to do it? Is the hub the same just the disc and caliper different etc?

Yes, they fit straight on.

When I built the project90-3, I got some 110 calipers cheap (they had siezed I think), so cleaned them up, and also got some 110 discs cheap/free, and the whole lot bolted straight on to a disco1 rear axle casing no problem.

MoT was fine; the rear didn't over-brake, and on the road I could tell no difference, even when buzzing around on MT's.

if you fit better back brakes you should adjust the brake compensating valve or back brakes could lock before front and your end up the back coming round on you and starting a spin

adjust valve or fit a brake limiting valve

if you got abs should not be as much of a problem with rears locking up , but you may find the brakes will be worse when heavy braking as the abs cuts in when you don't need it as fronts have maximum grip and backs locked

should really upgrade fronts or all round

ive had the back brakes lock and back come round on me , real panic brake as someone stepped out in to road ,braked went sideways let of brakes to stop skid and hit a lamp post

that was in a 90

rear brakes are smaller and weaker for a reason on all cars

to be honest I would try and stay same size and go vented ( don't know if there is a conversion at all )

how have you upgraded the fronts ?

if you have fitted , for example ebc front discs an pads then do the same to the rears but in standard 90 size not 110 ones
if you use 110 ebc then you could be upgrading more than the front upgrades

This /\/\/\ what have you done to the front??Only other thing I want to do is fit braided lines (give a firmer pedal feel for "quicker" brake response),but as said before, none of the main suppliers do them for td5 after 04/05.I wouldn't bother upgrading the rear, bigger calipers or vented,most of the braking occurs at the front anyways (weight transfer),as others have said it could risk locking up at the back. FYI,you'll need a good supply of Plusgas and patience to remove the rotator(abs) ring from the back of the disc. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5.

Will...

Easy conversion - have done a few.

110 rear callipers, 110 late spec rear discs and two shims per side.. easy.

No need for a brake bias valve, even without ABS it will still lock front brakes first as intended. And with ABS it will compensate anyway.


Going vented with the standard kit won't really do a lot... 110 has a larger clamping force which is what helps. With a standard setup heat will never been an issue... unless very tuned/heavy.

If needed, I can supply part numbers/parts as required.

What you really need though is:
