Myvi Braking System Discuss

[jackie8118]

Hi, i'm currently using Myvi SE1 with abs system. Recently i thinking to change my rear drum brake to disc brake.. will it effect my ABS system? very confused on this.. some people say that ABS will not able in drum brake.. so if myvi with abs system only for front disc brake ?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

i donnow with myvi abs if on 4wheel...

but if front only then surely can convert rear....


and if they activated on 4wheel oso don't worry much....what u need is the rear disc conversion that have abs signal trigger/sensor (or interchangable sensor) that shud be almost plg n play...

 

[jimmyae101]

can to convert from drum to disc brake if u can forget about abs system...just cut abs wire at rear...as ur second hand disc brake which no come with abs system connect how to plug in rite?anyway,i think nnothing happen if u cut d wire abs at rear,brake system still work when u apply brake just ur dash board abs light keep on as tellin u out that abs system got problem coz u yet connect plug in...convert or not all up to you...wan look nice with all wheel disc brake or keep standard look...

 

[amrancharger]

if not mistaken...myvi is only front haf abs...
if im wrong pls other sifu correct me...me nubie...

rather than change rear to disc...
get the front change 1st...from toyota, honda or even wira...then if found stopping power still not gud..then only change the rear to disc...
coz rear disc conversion need to do carefully...coz heard a few awful stories where the handbrake is not function when parking...scary wor...especially parking at slope...

means, if there will be abs system at rear, so i need to find a rear disc brake with have abs system originally then i can just plug and play ?

o.. then if i change front set then also wan find front disc brake which have abs switch those?

 

[amrancharger]

front braking power is more important than rear...
believe me the myvi stock brakes...sucks...!!

dun worry...the honda and toyota almost all comes wif abs...
theres been alot of people modify their myvi front brakes...

if u scared...can always opt for replacement bigger disc and better pads...its actually cost u almost the same with brake conversion for front.

so its really up to u...

ops forgot to mention...most toyota and honda brakes need the clearance of 15inch wheels...

Let me ask you this : What do you want from your brakes?

- Better braking when going touge?
- You're upgrading to a turbo engine and need bigger brakes?
- You just gatal and want to install bigger brakes?

There are plenty of ways of getting better brakes without having to resort to swapping to a different manufacturer caliper. And if converted properly, ABS will not be affected

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Agree with Izso. What is the main purpose of changing to
rear brake disc? Cosmetic purpose? Or looking for better
braking system or u r modding ur myvi to gain more
power so need better brakes?

If stock myvi, just change to a better brake disc and brake pads
for the front will do. I think is good enough by then.

yes, im going to upgrade to yrv soon, so before that i must having a good braking system first.
then i converted to rear disc will not affected ABS... is because rear brake did not have ABS system ?

beside modding gain power, i feel that original braking system are not enough me to stop my myvi with 17" rim..

Hmm...YRV. Really need better brakes. Got a fren use MR2 Twin-Port Brakes in his myvi before. Seems to be good :)

is it PnP ?

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Need some mods...cuz the caliper taking lots of space while turning according to my friend

its better to change the front disk 1st to a better 1, but u nid to carefully look for a suitable replacement and a experienced mechanic to do the job. For mine, i hv changed it to TOYOTA MR2 twin pot, some used Honda Ek n Oddysey becos is easier to source and cheaper. I can say all these are not plug n play, nid modification on the rotor itself, make sure your rim is 15 inch n above to make room for the bigger caliper, after the front modification, rear disc is optional since u got good set of brake on the front

 

[Izso]

For myvi, there is no such thing as PNP. Everything needs a custom bracket. You need to consider a few things when changing :

1. Budget. A custom bracket, refurbishing the brakes, brake pads and probably bigger rims will be needed for the size of the rotor and caliper clearance. Especially the rear.

2. Cost of future brake pads. 2-pot / 4-pot brake pads are not cheap. I don't know about MR2 but Toyota AE111 brake pads and Honda brake pads are more expensive than Wiras.

3. A suitable installer. You do not want to fark around with a shoddy install. These are brakes we're dealing with, get it right the first time so better to find a used, but already custom-made brake+caliper set, or get a good installer that has done this before. I believe in some Myvi forums there is one fella selling ready made custom bracket + Honda brakes.

Since you're upgrading to YRV, consider suspension upgrades too.

Again - if it's done properly ABS will not be affected.

hahaha...today i saw the vios with 18 inch sport rim damn nice looking but original front disc brake/rear drummm.... too small to fit up d 18 inch lo...did the driver got think can stop or not at time...i got a friend vios with 18 inch also...just using few month then change back 15 inch reason cant stop...hehehe...

if u really upgrade brake system...no just a disc brake only...other part also important like brake lining to steel hose,brake oil from 3 to 4,high performance brake pad,bigger caliper or twin pot...complete lah bro

i think very hard to get MR2 braking system nowadays.

i have upgrade all the thing just except braking system before i converted to YRV... thanks for advice.. appreciate it..

Make sure it is properly fitted and workable for the abs system. Mine was considered no problem after using for months before i sold the car, the brake pad might cost alot depending on the origin of the brake but usually performance brake pad would last longer, look for a recond (skimmed,cleaned) set of brake. I bought mine with a very good condition with 80% brake pad and a resprayed caliper n skimmed rotor. Budget is very important too

It's not 4-pot or 2-pot but it's a bigger brake kit ready made for Myvi. Sorry but you gotta register an account first

I personally feel fine with my EK overhaul and bleeding brake fluid. Unlikely need to change the rear to disc

If still not satisfied next option should be steel braided hose pipe
