The Lseries ones will bolt straight on just need to bend the brake line a little bit to go back in, just make sure you get 4wd ones as the 2wd have different hubs

Everyone told me to change the proportioning as apparently drum brakes have a little bit of line pressure all the time to keep a preload or something.
Never did anything like that, my rear brakes work fine and show no abnormal wear. Rotors are well within limits and the pads have been fine and yes, the brakes do work

nothing like experience is there ?
I reckon me Brumby brakes are good enough to stop now, I'll wait and see how it stops with turbo when I get there .

After driving a drum rear Brumby the other day, I would definately put discs on if you can.
My brakes are great, everyone raves about rear discs for a reason, They are a simple and safe modification.
