Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have 4 bolt wheels you have drums in the rear, and 5 bolt wheels means discs all around. To change from disc to drums you have to change all the hubs and everything, probably not worth it.
Correct on all counts. And IMHO, the conversion to disk brakes is definitely not worth the time, effort, or cost. Use that money on other mods.
It's the usdm (United States Domestic market) and pacific cars that are all 4 lug with rear drum. Protge produced for different regions of the world came with different packages and optional equipment. The op probably has a edm (European domestic market) protege.
To awnser your question it's a matter of opinion. I have rear drum and it holds the car better when I'm parked because I never leave my car in gear. Drum brakes have better parking brake holding power and have a longer lifespan than disks, but disk brakes do work better with abs and mostly are a better design for everyday driving than drum. Another reason I like drum is because they lock up fast and hard with the ebrake for drifting action.
That's just my $.02
Gozz is in Croatia that is why i was talking about edm protge. I was just saying that is why he has 4 lug with rear disc. Sorry about the confusion...thank you for all the responses it is greatly appreciated...................
JReichle1: how is it possible to purchase a EDM vehicle in the U.S.? Is this a fluke?
