Disc brake conversion - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Wingman · 03-01-2010, 09:32 PM

I just replaced the brake shoes on the front of my 2004 Ruby and maan!! What a mess! My front drums were full of mud!
Ive been looking on E-bay for stuff and noticed they have a kit for 349 bux that uses willwood brake technology.
349 bux is kinda pricey and was wondering if there are kits made by others that is cheaper?
Im good to go for now but would love to convert to disc in the future.
Or is it possible to convert OEM 2005-06 disc to fit my 2004 ?
Just curious?

Superatv kits have been pretty common for the price.

The three main ones out there are the Superatv, Highlifter, and Xtreme. The Highlifter has slots on the brake rotor which will hold mud and wear down the pads faster. The Highlifter is around $380. From the pics I have seen of the Superatv and Xtreme, they are EXACTLY the same. Probably manufactured by the same company and distributed under different names. The Xtreme kit is $380 and the Superatv is $230. I got my Superatv kit for $185 when they had their 14 days of Christmas sale. I have had no problems with the Superatv conversion so far. Put it on in December and have about 300-400 miles on it so far.
