ef hub swarp need help....

**ralph_ef9** · 24-02-2008 01:35 AM

im doing a brake upgrade for my 89 ef3 (d16a8/zc), just bought a pair of ek4 front brake set up(2xcaliper,2xrotor)...
and i found out the ek4 caliper doesn't fit my ef hub...its like the caliper is too big for the hub...
and the ques is: what part do i also need to fit those calipers?
if i need the eg/ek hub, do i need to change the drive shaft?

More then likely your going to have to change the hub aswell, more then likely an ek hub (wouldnt know off hand which you'd need but more then likely the Ek4)

Not an expert (just a forum whore) but...

I doubt your going to have to change driveshafts

but i may be wrong

Ill let one of the more knowledgeable answer fully

yup you will need the uprights from a EF8/9, EG6, DC2/4 or EK4

Need to change to ef8/ef9, da9 uprights.

Eg6, dc2 will change the geometry of your camber and toe in and out. Not recommended

is uprights including the drive shaft?
i mean: do i have to get the outer drive shaft for the ek4 hub?

My bad, EF8/9 or DA6/9 uprights are better to use on a ED/EF

no you shouldnt need driveshafts

just need the upper wishbone and uprights, just doing the same thing as you atm, when i get my car back...
no driveshafts needed i used EG6 shafts for my b16 conversion and they fit no probs. Had to remove some ring spacer thingy off the end of them tho
