WB Statesman Diff Into WB Ute

[HK1837]

Thanks guys, I thought it sounded like a good idea but not if it has issues.
Even if I fitted the disc setup to my existing diff, I'm assuming still the same clearance issues with handbrake?

Yes, same problem. The way guys fix it is either fit lowering blocks (illegal) or redrill the caliper carrier so the whole thing rotates to move the caliper away from the leaf springs. To be honest if you badly wanted discs you'd be better off using Commodore rear discs and calipers. Still not a bolt on but a better setup. Drums are superior for what a commercial does though, and the handbrake works better.

Check the rear brakes on a current Hilux..... still using drums.

Thanks guys. Looks like I will keep the drums looks like no real gain for the trouble.

Thanks all for the input.
