Figaro Callipers

[kyle]

Are figaro callipers the same as k10 ones?

Do k11 callipers need modification to fit a k10? would k11 callipers give a noticable improvement?

you would need k11 hubs iirc to fit the calipers.

see this thread http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=18048 oh and don't forget to use the search

[joesouthgate]

No you wont as it doesn't work...

care to explain as the guide says it works if you replace the hubs

How come? Just wondering as Speedle says it works and he seems to have tried most of these things?

 

[Ceirwan]

Its the hub carriers you replace as well iirc? I hope this does work as i'm planning on doing it soon! :S

Figaro brakes are vented right? You can use K10 hubs. I had March calipers and brembo disks, and i'm assuming March/ Figaro calipers are the same

He didnt as far as I know try. But I do know someone who has tried and it didnt fit. iirc the lower wishbone is too different.

 

[joesouthgate]

i'm surew whipit talked about that he had done it aswell?

Isn't it different for facelifts though? (you can fit k11 hubs on the facelift but not the prefacelift?)

the rear-most wishbone rubber needs swopping, but i think the pre 98 1.0 hubs, wishbones and brakes will fit the k10
