hq disc

[Grimbo]

Just a couple of questions in regards to HQ stubs on HR front.

1. When using the HQ stubs on the HR front end do you use HR steering arms?

2. Also do you use the HQ calipers on factory intended sides L/H on left and R/H on right or do you have to swap them over for clearence.

I have heard/read that there are some fouling issues when using HQ stubs. I hope someone can clear this up as I'm about to convert my HR to HQ brakes.

Cheers

Do HQ stubs bolt straight onto a HR front end?

[fj_225]

So HR Ball joints are the same size as HQ??

I have HQ disc's, hq stubs, HQ calipers but have (again) changed my mind on rims and have got a set of 15 prostars off a crappadoor. Yes they fit but are not hub centric (?).
QUESTION
Can I put VN Disks on the HQ stubs and still use the HQ calipers so the crappadoor rims fit???????????????????? Shit i'm confusing myself now!

And after all that, are the 5ich back on these rims gunna cause me too much of a headache?????????? AHHHHHHH I really wanted to use these rims. Got them for a steal!

g,d


ay why not machine center hub on disc to suit the rim




cheers bat

[DOLLER]

Disc hub diameter is smaller than rim. Does that make it hub centric or stud centric?????????????????????????

[bat53retro]

g,day dont know what disc your running but hq - wb disc center hub is about 2 mm bigger than commodore



cheers bat

I've got an HR front end with HQ stubs, HQ discs and what i think are WB calipers but im not 100% sure.. They stick out a fair way on the back side and foul on the tower of the crossmember when turned and ive lost quite a bit of lock because of it. Obviously i cant use these calipers so what are the right calipers to use?

If someone can tell for sure what calipers ive got thatd be cool too..

Cheers
