I got inspired reading this thread and i went to the junk found a 94 gt HB. Guy said i could get both sides Calipers, rotors, and rear spindles for 350. I got one question is that all i need? IMO... that's too expensive... almost twice as much as I'd be willing to pay for essentially junk parts. I bought a Civic rear disc swap for only 90.00 and that included basically the entire rear suspension arm... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

IMO, if it's genuine Toyota part, good condition and "plug-and-play". That's good price. For you information, just set of new seals for both rear brakes costs $50  (you may try check you toyota dealer for prices... horrible amounts  )

In terms of performance I doubt this is a worthwhile thing to do, since most of your brake bias is up front and drums are capable of stopping harder anyhow. Discs just dissipate heat better and hence are more resistant to fade in agressive driving conditions. I doubt most people on here are driving their cars hard enough for this to be beneficial. If you really wanna stop shorter then clean out your trunk.
But if you're doing if for aesthetics... well people spend money on more ridiculous things that don't do anything. Go for it. |
