E- brake cables
« on: March 15, 2009, 04:11:38 PM »
I switched my car from rear drum to the ws6 rear disc brakes and I bought the rear cables for that set up but my question is, is the front cable different from drum to disc??  I dont want to buy that cable if I do not need it.

Thanks, 

The problem I am running into now is that the rear cables seem way too long. I have no adjustment left off the front cable. I double checked with my parts store and they told me I have the correct rear cables, is there anything I can do?

Thanks, That will help. I guess if I have to, I can cut the cables and just put new lead balls at the ends.
