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.

Don't worry about the ABS, since a 94 ST isn't equipped w/ABS anyway, it's a non issue. You don't need the ABS sensors off the donor car.

I didn't do anything about the p-valve. I kinda figure if I ever come across one some day, I'll snag it and swap them out, otherwise my brakes work just fine with the current p-valve and it's not a top priority.

Don't do something weird like use the rotors off the donor car. Just order new rotors and pads from NAPA or whatever auto parts supply store you like. I've got NAPA premium rotors on mine and I'm very happy with them. I've got ceramic pads, which I'm happy with in terms of durability and total lack of brake dust, but they're not as grabby as semi-metallic pads. That works fine for me though, since I rarely have the need to stop so short where the semi-metallics would make a difference. If I need to stop that short, odds are I'm gonna hit whatever is in front of me anyway.
