Hi guys,
Soon will be swapping drums to discs, have all parts (arms, calipers, discs), just been looking for new brake pads and suddenly noticed, that handbrake cable is different length.... So those who did this swap already,how did you cope with this? bought new, or left old from drums?
Thank you in advance

And how was it with brake distribution? didnt change anything? braking is normal for rear, not too weak?
