rear disc conversion complete, what a pain Options

[purplegt4]

brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out.

This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front time for new front brakes!

Thanks . it worked great. I think the e-brake cables are the same.

Can you verify this once you are done with the swap. As that will be 1 less item I need to take off the car.

yes, as stated. Stay away from Drilled rotors.

Stick to slotted and thats it.


BTW, how much did the rear conversion run you. Looking at doing that in April.

~$150 for the rear assemblies.
~$45 brembo blank rotors
~$45 toyota pads
~$12 new rotor plugs and o-rings

Awesome, I estimated about $300 or so said and done.

i used my st ebrake cable. works just fine.
and a lil ot... i had my disc conversion done last summer. but i finally fixed my e-brake a couple days ago. old shoes were worn down to bare metal. it feels nice walking away from my car and not wondering if i put it in 1st gear everytime i park.
