Why Upgrade Your Navara’s Brakes and Suspension?

The Nissan Navara is a solid workhorse, but like most factory 4WDs, there’s room for improvement—especially when it comes to stopping power and off-road handling. That’s where a disc brake conversion and a suspension lift come into play. If you’re pushing your Navara to its limits—whether towing, hauling, or tackling the rough stuff—you need brakes and suspension that can handle it.

This Navara just got a serious suspension overhaul—Superior 2-inch lift, ready to flex on the toughest tracks.

From Drum to Disc – The Brake Upgrade Your Navara Needs

One of the biggest weaknesses of older or base-spec Navaras is the rear drum brakes. While they get the job done, they’re prone to fade, require more maintenance, and don’t offer the stopping confidence you need for off-road driving or heavy loads. That’s why upgrading to rear disc brakes is a game-changer.

Why Go Disc Over Drum?

• Better Stopping Power – Disc brakes provide stronger, more consistent braking compared to drum setups, especially when under load.

• Improved Heat Dissipation – Less chance of brake fade on long downhill runs.

• Easier Maintenance – Discs are easier to service and last longer.

• Stronger Braking in Wet & Muddy Conditions – Drum brakes tend to fill with mud and water off-road, making them less effective. Discs shed debris more efficiently.

  
  

From drum to disc—this Navara now stops as good as it goes with a Bendix brake conversion. No more spongy pedal, just solid stopping power.

Suspension Lift – Elevate Your Navara’s Capability

A suspension lift kit is one of the best mods you can do for a Navara that’s built for off-road touring, work, or weekend adventures. This upgrade provides extra ground clearance, allows for bigger tyres, and improves suspension articulation.

What’s Included in a Suspension Lift?

• Heavy-Duty Coil Springs – Increased load capacity and ride height.

• Upgraded Shock Absorbers – Better damping, smoother ride on- and off-road.

• Extended Brake Lines – Ensures proper function with the lifted stance.

• Adjustable Upper Control Arms – Helps maintain proper alignment and steering feel.

• Leaf Spring Upgrades (If Applicable) – Reinforced springs for better load handling.

This setup transforms the Navara into a more capable and comfortable rig, whether you’re hitting the tracks, towing a camper, or just want a tougher stance.

Installing a Superior 2-inch lift to give this Nav a smoother, tougher ride on and off the beaten track.

Why This Combo Works So Well

Pairing a rear disc brake conversion with a suspension lift ensures that your Navara not only handles better but also stops better. With bigger tyres, extra weight from mods, and off-road abuse, you need both upgraded suspension and brakes to maintain control and safety.

• More Confidence in Off-Road & Towing Situations – No more worrying about brake fade when towing or hitting steep descents.

• Enhanced Ride Quality – A suspension lift improves handling and comfort on rough terrain.

• Legal & Compliant – This setup is engineered to ensure safe and reliable performance.
