Rear Drums upgrade mk3 fiesta?

Postby Xr_Dub on Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:24 pm

is there any drums that i can upgrade to use?
which are bigger than the current xr2i ones that i have on mine at the momment
they just look to small and tbh any thing slightly bigger would be good not to fussed if they dont help much in braking?

any mods involved in this? or is it a straight fit?

thank you please

There were two sets of rear drums. The ABS variants did have the larger drums but these were not limited to the ABS variants.

Try sportka rear drums.

Im fitting these to my fiesta at present and they are bigger than the standard ones and also made by AP so should be reliable.

My current ones are ABS drums as my car used to be an abs car.
