I know it's not TOTALLY necessary as there isnt' a lot of weight to stop, but out of convenience I would prefer some disc's in the back.

Has anyone heard anything about a conversion and/or other Toyota parts that would bolt up?

 

Same here, I just don't like drums at all, I'd love to have 4 wheel discs, even just for looks, with some nice Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors.


:twisted:

 

Yeah there are 2 out now

Theres some of the brake kits that Scionlife offer.The willwood is a good buy for the money..... I dont have a brake kit.... never found the need for 1 yet but i did get theperformance rotors and pads.Those work great. Quite honestly i dont really recomend wasting your money on the brake kit bieng about $2000 buy if you want to race your XB i would understand..... Hope this helps

Those are all front Disc Upgrades, not Rear Disc Conversions, but thanks for the link & info.

plus if done right (and not by greedy people), it shouldn't cost >$800.

 

Oh yeah saw that just now sry. But youre right they should only be like 800....

 

weight has nothing to with it. tractor trailers use drum brakes and they are way heavier than any bulk-buy wharehouse shopping i'll do.

but i agree i want the clean look of 4 wheel disk. :D :D
i was at a friends over the weekend and saw one kit that has the e-brake conversion for the rear, but i don't recall the site off-hand. sorry

 

No kiddin'. I'm not a fan of drums at all, that and I don't know how to work on them. :oops:

 

Ah, good point. I guess it's more towards the performance of brakin' when discs come into play.

 

im thinking of gettin a paint kit likethis 1



Yeah that summs it up.

If u want tokno the URL for the site with the paint send me a privite message

you guys know that slopoke21m made his own rear disc right? He used the set-up from a 88 toyota corolla GT-S, but he had to make some modifications. :D

 

Here is Slopokes21m's journey to rear discs here and here.

:D

I thought someone back east was looking into fabbing a rear disc kit for cheap as well...

Im hoping for a 4-wheel disk and 5-lug conversion. not that I need 5-lugs but just to have them.
