jeffo21 125 Posted December 13, 2019 Was considering changing the brakes on my 99 300 over to disc brakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,543 Posted December 13, 2019 in order to put disk brakes on your trx300, you will need to install/use 12 inch rims, you can not install disk brake kits with the oem stock size rims. a lot of owners buy and install super atv brake kits, I like/use high lifter brand myself.

jeffo21 125 Posted December 13, 2019 I put 12" rims on it last year. I didn't like any of the tires I could get with the stock rims so I ordered some ITP's and put some bighorn tires on it. I will look into the highlifter's thanks Shadetree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffo21 125 Posted December 13, 2019 it's a 2x4 superatv makes a kit for rear brakes now that uses the existing cables Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffo21 125 Posted December 13, 2019 ok I was going to try the rear brake first. then maybe swap out the front brakes that no longer work to the disc brakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,732 Posted December 13, 2019 I thought superatv offered them for the 2x4 in the past, I could be wrong. If they do they should have some holiday discounts coming on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffo21 125 Posted December 13, 2019 Superatv does still have the front brake conversion kit. was just going to put the rear one on first. Shade if I bought that it would need a shower and a bed cause I would be kicked out of the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
