what is the best way to go for a brake upgrade form my sentra xe, i´ve been searching, but everything is incomplete, can someone help me out in that, I would apreciate it.....
my car is in the shop right now getting a rear disk conversion,b&m short shifter ,all new es bushings and the greddy catback.hope to have it back by monday.
Why are you guys doing this mod? Just wondering because the only advantage I see is the ease of changing the pads vs. shoes, but there must be other reasons.
whats the going price for a complete rear brake conversion? By complete, I meat rear spindles, e-brake cables, and whatever else you might need. What are you guys paying? I'm trying for figure out if its worth me buying another SE-R to part out or not. Thanks guys.
Having the AD7HA's in the back as well as the larger AD18VE's or AD22VF's up front will impove braking not only due to larger brakes up front, but the rear discs will help stop better as well. Drums actually have more stopping power than discs, but discs do not have the fade that drums do, so they stop better. So I would suppose that's why people are swapping out their rear drums for the AD7HA's

getting ready to do the same swap on my b12. already have the se r front brakes. im just doing a bit more research and as soon as i find a stanza mc ill be ready to roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did mine 2 years ago from an NX2000. Got parts cheap and used the rear calipers as cores becuase they were junk. E-brake cables a must, If you can't get the links off, use the heat torch. I reused the links and the damn pins were nearly gaulded in, but the torch got them out. Also if you get the ES bushings, good luck with your bladder, they are very harsh on PA roads here. Great for the track though, very stiff. do this when you convert over.

I just picked up a set of spindles and calipers from an NX2000 for my GXE (no ABS), and they look like they'll fit fine, but why does the e-brake cable need to be replaced?
the reason for changing the e brake cables is because the drum ebrake cables go on the inside as for the disk they sit on the outside . totally diffrent setup. by the way mines is done . went to the shop yesterday looks sweet.
