  • Drum Brakes

    Am I reading things wrong or do all new DS3's come with drum brakes on the back now?

    Even the THPs ? I'd be surprised, my eHDi has discs all round so I'd be surprised if that was changed for the later models.

            So the eHDi gets the discs on the rear ? Perhaps Biggie knows why ? I could understand it if the DSports all had discs

                  On the configurator Beef, once you have put the car together have a look towards the bottom of the specs

                    Looking on the configurator, the pictures are discs but in the spec sheet is says rear drums. My guess would be they've not updated the specs page correctly. Seems pretty stupid to change them when they've increased the bhp on newer models.

                      Mine seems to stop pretty well on front disks and rear drums.
                      Is there that much of a difference as I would have thought most of the "stopping" was on the front anyway?
                      In my biking days the rear brakes were only ever used in "oh shit" moments

                        Just spoke to Wes, his new 165 THP has discs all round. I imagine it's just not correct on the configurator.

                            Agreed. Although it will be at least 12 months before I get a new one

                              DSign, DStyle = Drums
                              DSport, Ultra = Discs all round.

                              I wouldn't worry about drum brakes because in reality when you brake around 70% of the work is being done by the front brakes anyway.
