Mr Polson 10,214 Posted November 14, 2014 Quick question guys, the XF disc calipers on the rear of my wagon are f**ked, can I fit a set of ED calipers to the diff? I know as a minimum it'd need brake line adapters. Want to stick with the XF diff for now, the 2.77 keeps my revs low on the highway with the BW40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted November 14, 2014 Backing plates will be different and the handbrake cable too, not sure on disc size though. Far as i know it should all bolt straight up...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted November 14, 2014 But if I got a ED wagon handbrake cable that'd fix it. Can get the backing plates and rotors, rotors would bolt straight on yeah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrianphu123 73 Posted November 14, 2014 wouldnt it be cheaper to just rebuild the set you've got already? but if you're really determined, with the backing plate, rotors and handbrake cable, it should fit. Disc size should be the same, both look pretty similar inside my wheel when i changed diff from XF to ED, but the backing plate should account for any variations anyway.

Mr Polson 10,214 Posted November 14, 2014 Looked at rebuilding the current set, cant get kits for them easily and most of the time they're pitted etc, everyone recommends buying "new" reco'd ones, which are $295 a caliper. Can possibly get this ED stuff pretty cheap and its in working order, will only need to get a handbrake cable to suit wagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted November 14, 2014 TBH your car would get better economy with a 3.27 ED wagon diff IMO as it doesn't have to work as hard to get to hwy speed and maintain it. I have never found economy to be worse by going for more gearing. Plus you could get a whole diff for between free and $100 I reckon. The better brakes would just be a bonus P.S Yes they do work better 5 Thom, NZXD, steve mcqueen and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
