Rear Drum to Disc Conversion, Rear Brakes Options

[94celi757]

So ive done searching around and looked on a couple of older topics about the rear disc swap but from really couldnt get the information i needed. Now i know you need rear backing plates, rear brake calipers, rear rotors, and rear pads, but do you get these fora 6 generation gt model celica. Ive also read that you need the parking brake cable or assembly, has anyone just went to there local toyota dealership picked up the parts and installed, i know getting from the dealer is going to be on the expensive side but what do you think i should do. Any information would gladly be helpful.

So from what i understood.

5th Gen Celica GT-S Rear Brake Assembly will work just fine. need brake lines, calipers, and backing plate. Also i have to make sure to get 6th gen gt rear rotors and pads. Do 5th Gen GT-S Celica's have ABS on rear brakes. And if i get rear brakes from a 6th gen Celica do i have to look for ABS Sensors??

Oh and also GriffGirl. about the proportional valve. description in the chilton book i have. Proportional Valve: used to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes becuase of weight transwer during high speed stops. this helps keep the rear brakes from locking up by improving front to rear brake balance.

What did you end up doing Griff Girl buying the proportional valve or leave as is? and you weren't kidding about the price $200 like u said before.

Edit: So i went to local junk yard called Pick a part. and i found a 5th gen gt-s that had about 226,000 miles on. thinking about it. it it worth getting them. i mean thats alot of miles on the car. the car was not crashed at all. and it had no engine. should i get them or look at the other junkyard to see if they have any other celica's
