They call it pointless because they can't afford the mod or are jealous of people that have it done.

 

I do the things I do to my xB because it's what I want. Not what you or your club buddies like, or think I should like. I'm 48 years old and I want a comfy good looking, loaded out car with the things I want. Big stereo, leather , and all the toys including power & handling upgrades. I spend what it takes to get all the things I like. Then I drive it for 50 to 60 miles a day for work for about 5 years (if it lasts that long). If I pick up a couple of trophies along th way, well... thats just fine. I'll leave the carbon fiber & neon to the kids & enjoy my chrome, brakes, bling, 20's, etc.....

 

kingsmart has a rear conversion...

and lets file this under corner carvers...

moved....

 

I'd do a rear Disk conversion but I'd get bumped classes @ SCCA.

 

Sorry, I should have thought to put it under CC.

Well said Mark, I think you and I are coming from the same
direction (though you got a few years on me . I'm all about
the chrome and handling upgrades!

 

here you go ...

rear disc conversion

big brake conversion

the big brake conversion requires you to run 16"

the rear disc conversion is the same thats being sold at Highonscion.com website for $200 dollars more...

 

Kick ___!! Do you know if that kit retains the Parking Break
and all that?

 

yes it does... if you notice the spring on the caliper ... that means it has the parking brake feature... I ordered mine should be in next month...

 

awesome Wraith... let us know how that works out. Lots of pictures and everything if you can.

 

Definitly keep us informed!
Assuming I find wheels I like this month, I could get that
kit next month.

 

long time no hear...how ya been???

 

been working

 

i hear that...work just kicked it up a notch on my end....

 

does anyone make a big brake upgrade for the rear ? On the highonscion website gallery, their scion has a 5 lug conversion and the calipers sits on the top side of the wheel not on the front or rear of the wheel. Looks awesome.

 

Anyone have any updates on this? Anyone do any rear brake
conversions yet? I'm afraid to be the test subject for a $1000
rear disc brake set, but I still REALLY want to do this!!

 

Looks like I'll be saving my pennies for the front and rear kits. For that price, I can't pass it up. I was going to buy rotors, but I think I'll apply that money to the above it.

 

My thoughts exactly. Though I think we should be able to find
the rear kit for less then $1000 for sure!

 

The link above is for less then a grand, I want them both for about 1400. Good deal considering some want 2500+ for big brake kits fronts only.

 

Well tell me how it is when you get it!

That's the one I'm thinking about getting, but I'm willing to
pay the extra few hundred to get the other one because it's
a known good xB upgrade.

 

i know this post is quite old but the kit looks like a pretty decent price but factor in shipping and customs fees and it'll probably average out to the highonscion kit.

i've always wondered if the toyota vitz had upgrade kits for them since Yashio Factory had built one up awhile back and had a rear disc setup as well.
