Default Rear Disc for xB

Has anyone found a rear disc kit, other than Wilwood, for the xB?
Does anyone know if the rear disc off the tC or 08 xB will fit?
Just wondering.........

ivanbBpr, what did you have to do in order to get the rear disc to fit. Is it hard to do?

I want to add rear disc on my xA when I put some Wilwood big brakes up front.

Discs not needed on an xB, would be overkill. Front brake upgrade will do nicely. Try slotted discs with ceramic pads. Night and day difference.

Discs on the rear would be alot nicer for maintence not just for performance.

Which how-to? Is there one floating around for a matrix->xb brake conversion?

The one I saw used the disc set up from an earlier Corrolla GT with the 4X100 lug pattern. Never found out if he got the E brake to work. Just seems like too much work just for the "look".
