Rob's ZX2 Build (Rear Suspension and Disk Brake)

This is my conversion from Rear Drum to Rear Disk. Also, I have thrown in the picks from the springs and rear sway bar upgrade.

I am following the instructions from myzx2.com/howto/RearDisc/

I have too many things to complete before the next race on Sunday!

That's life, never enough time!

Added photos for calipers installed with rotors and painted red. Also added picks for coilovers install.

This is the E-brake cable. it runs right into the trailing arm. looks normal by the wear, just poor design I suppose.



Also this is what stopped me from racing on 4-15-12
I broke the bleeder screw in the caliper and broke the easy out in that, then it would not drill out. Ryan says he can help.

Nice work! All thats going to make a HUGE difference at the auto-x.

I have the new caliper (Thanks Aaron and Steve) in the car after the mess up. It is painted and rebuild. I bleed the brakes last night. I will re-bleed them again today. The system was without fluid for about 2 weeks. I have to adjust the parking brake.
I just have to lower the front with the coil overs. Then ready for the next race.
