I'm after some advice on converting my rear brakes to discs. A. Is it possible? B. Has it been done before? C. If it is possible, is it costly?

I was under the impression for some reason that the VRS had discs in the rear, so my train of thought was that it would be pretty easy to just swap the hubs and link them up. I'm sure I was also told off someone that the rear end of the fabia is basically a polo/golf rear end so parts from one of them should bolt straight on? Have I been mislead or am I on the right track?

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jake.

This was an optional extra when i bought my Fabia Mk2 new in 2008, which i had factory fitted, so i can't see why you can't get it sorted?

The easiest way would be to source a vrs rear beam and just swap it all over.

It would be a lot of work and cost for minimal gain as the rears hardly do anything anyways!

This is just for looks, right? Rear brakes don't do much and in my experience, drums are far more maintenance free. Rear discs corrode very easily and calipers bind etc.

Primarily it's a visual thing but I would imagine it should provide some increase in brake performance on standard discs w/greenstuff pads. If it was an extra then it should be an easier/cheaper job to swap the hubs than the whole axle? I never knew it was an option, shame whoever bought mine never had it fitted.

That said, if its gonna be that expensive I might just stick with my plan to stick tarox discs on the front and just spray the hubs gold. I want the greenline spoiler but not at the price they sell for either! Some skoda stuff does seem to be very un-necessarily expensive I've noticed.

The whole axle beam needs to be changed. There are no mountings for the caliper carrier on the drum axle beam.

The Car Skoda should have built as the Mk2 Fabia Monte Carlo. IMO.
