Who makes rear disk brakes for the Scion Xb? I found Precision, but does any other company? Anyone using Precision? Would you have to drop the one ton garage spacer if you went to rear disk?

thanks for your help

Scroll down or maybe even over to page 2 and you'll see a nice big discussion on this.

thank you eggie

so it looks like there are three choices for rear?

Kingsmart $678

Highonscion $988

Precision (I think high $900 range but site is broken)

Hmm, I didn't realize our 2,400 lbs cars needed rear discs. Mine seems to stop fine during spirited driving.

 

i think he wants it more for looks since you're right, it stops fine already. i admit it looks goofy, but i cant justify blowing even 600 on something that basically i wont notice

 

$600 would be nice. :D Some of the kits are near 2k. Here is a pricing update

Kingsmart.................$678
Highonscion............$988
Precision.................$1,800
JD Performance.......$1,400 +$400 parking

I talked to Precision today and these kits can be custom colored and sized. Each set is made to order and they can use larger rotors if you want to fill bigger wheels. The lead time is 8 weeks for these kits. JD Performance has done a couple kits for Xbs and these are wilwood parts all the way. This kit is excellent but very pricey. JD is still working out the kinks on a hyrdraulic parking brake which would be $300 or so more.

Has anyone installed one of these kits? Reviews?

thanks

Someone here installed a big brake kit up front and a converstion kit in the rear, see think and read the threads, I think it was in there. Anyways, he stated braking was basically insane

 

yep it stops nuts! i got the wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear =)

 

Hey quadoptix, Mind if I ask what the wilwood set up ran you. I was just on their web site yesterday checking it out but I wasn't sure if it was just a front set or if it was both.

 

wet blanket reminder again: the bigger the tire radius the less effective is a given brake setup.

with stock sized tires or smaller, the braking of the xB is superb.

most of the braking is done by the front rotors. and werrry well done it is- at no additional charge.

the bigger the tire radius the less braking torque we get.

it's a game; a balancing act; a style-circus, too.

(boooo on you, Sci! BOOOOO)

i know

 

basically it cost me nothing. My friend got a free xA from scion and built it and when it came time to crush the car, he took the brakes off n gave it to me as a present. the rear kit IS NOT AVAILABLE only the front. If you do want the front setup , i do sell it for $1200 brand new.
