I don't know if any of you tried to do another rear-disc brake conversion for the xA/xB beside SloPoke21m:

but....
I've got all the parts that required for the swap..including the dust shields . I tried to get in contact with Slopoke to get a blue print of his mounting plates but haven't heard anything back.

Have any of you lucky enough to get your hand on Slopoke layouts before he disappear?
or...
Have your tried another way to come up with a better swapping.

I priced around ebay for some CNC machine shop rate...come up about $25/hr, not bad. I've got a pair of 91 corolla GTS (AE86) rear rebuilt calipers (fully loaded.....yippie!,) used pair front dust shields, brand new AE86 rear discs with center holes bored out to fit xA rear hub. All I need now is the mounting brackets and I'm ready to do another detail write up w/ pix for you future rear-disc-craze swapper.

Oh yeah...the calipers cost me $34....Ain't it nice to have ebay....

hope you realize its not just calipers and rotors to a conversion, requires a different master cylinder aswell.. the current isnt set up for disc/disc

 

didn't know that....
Where else can I educate myself on this matter?

 

Wrong, there is a few people that did disc swaps and left the master and everything else alone and it all worked fine. Even the VSC and ABS worked fine with no lights on or anything. They used parts from an older celica gt. The hardest thing they had to overcome was hooking up the parking brake.

 

you can use the stock master cylinder. the e brake is the clincher.
