Rear Brake Kits

[thorvald_skwimby]

About to endeavor on refreshing all the brakes in my new to me '74 tii. Does anyone sell a full refresh kit for the rear drum brakes? I've seen individual parts but nothing that bundles together everything I'd need. Also what are y'alls thoughts on converting to rear disk brakes? Right now I'm just going for good enough to pass safety inspections and being able to stop, but thinking to bigger future upgrades.

The stock braking system works very well when set up properly. Rear discs are cool upgrade if you're doing it for looks or if you've also beefed up your front brakes to match. 

 

Blunttech is a vendor that a lot of us here like. You'll need wheel cylinders and shoes, and you can replace the drums themselves too if you'd like. I never bothered to and my rear brakes seem to work just fine.

The best upgrade is better compounds on pads and shoes.

Ireland Engineering sells a kit to upgrade to the bigger 250mm 320i drums Here. I would also suggest upgrading the front brakes to 320i vented disc rotors with e12 calipers.

I'm running the stock Tii setup in the front but upgraded the rotors to the IE slotted version, coupled with the 250mm setup in the back. It's a very nice overall balance if you ask me. As some have noted, you could also choose to upgrade the fronts to the 320i setup too, but not necessary if you ask me with a Tii.
