:lol: PMSL only the 1.8 sri have disks on back, so you have drums :P

what are drums lol :S - i feel so stupid . . .
Sheady
16-04-2006, 11:13
the drum is the big round thing you were refering to buddy, drum brakes have 2 brake shoes inside of the drum that get pushed out wards onto the inside of the drum when you press the brake pedal which in turn slows/stops u , hope this helps
PAT8L
16-04-2006, 11:16

Sheady
16-04-2006, 11:21
