    Default Oh no another Ra28 rear axle question

    OK so I'm fitting a Kaaz LSD diff to my standard RA28 axle and I want to convert to disc brakes also. I can modify the standard halfshafts to take whatever rotor and calliper set up I want I suppose but it's all about time, effort and cost. So the question is, is their a preferred route to go down with this, what are the best options?
    Can the AE86 shafts be used for example?
    Cheers

    Anyway what I've settled with is using the original shafts. Re-drilling the flanges so they are 4x100mm pcd. I'm going to use the rear rotors off a Hyundia coupe and calipers from an MGF, which have the handbrake function built in so no heavy drums and shoes.
    Need to sort out a mod so I can fit the rear coilovers and ditch the springs

    In Australia the easiest route is to use the backing plate, discs and calipers from an ST141 Corona with live axle. It's pretty much bolt up and they work well. Not sure if these were Aus only or were used round the world though.
    I need a working 4AGE bottom end. Pref smallport GZE, but all others considered. Also complete motors.
    Drift Volvo. Was fun. 2JZ next time.
