4 Wheel Disc Breaks
« on: August 21, 2012, 04:59:09 PM »
Has anyone put 4 wheel discs on an eagle? I've been curious about this for a while and was wondering about putting them on my '82 SX4.
Feedback..... Anyone??  :help:

I did just that on my SX4 using modified FSJ (Wagoneer) caliper brackets and calipers.  I had to machine the axle flanges to fit inside the rotors because I am running a Dana 44.  There would probably be no need for that if you use the stock axles.  Look into parts from a downsize Cherokee (XJ?) front end to easily modify.
