I have to say, a lot of people have said you don't need disc brakes on the Pilot. And you don't
NEED them, but I sure am loving mine! No adjusting, more braking power (just need to replace those old, weak, expanding, rubber lines now), and no braked fade when wet.....all in all a mod I'm glad I did.
I've run with the 4+2 rims as well as the 3.875+1.125 rims with this setup. I prefer the 3.875+1.125's they do handle a tad bit better I think. Plus I got them in the ultimate .190's with outterbeadlock. The inner edge is much thicker and stronger than the regular .190 rim. You can't get the 3.875+1.125 offset in the 4/110 bolt pattern from Douglas. That's why I like the fact that my setup uses the 250R hubs, discs and calipers. There is a much wider selection of rims for the 4/144 bolt pattern than there is for out pilots (4/110).
I've been able to make my rear pads last longer with the increased braking capability of the front disc brakes....another plus. The front brakes are always "there" through the whole day/weekend, meaning I can go easier on my rear pads. I find the rear pads wear out incredibly fast.
When Moskito makes the kits, you will be please by having discs up front. I think I will make a couple more sets for the other 2 pilots here, as I do most of the maintenance, it means less work for me in the end
