toyota rear disc conversion writeup

[MUCHADO]

This is my first shot at a writeup on an install. I was recieving too many emails with questions about installation steps and details of this conversion, so I decided to put this together. If you see any changes that need to be made let me know.

It was easiest for me to put these together in photoshop so let the pics load.















Ordering info can be had in my vendor's thread:

Mods, maybe put this in the FAQ?

i was gonna call bs on the master cylinder part cause i can lock my rears up no problem, but i have single piston calipers in the rear and it looks like your running 2 or 4? soo i can see the need of a bigger master cylinder... great job again rob!

4 piston calipers... which is one of the big benefits of using these brakes. Also... the single piston calipers use a floating mount which can bind up easier than the Toyotas which are solid mount. I know you got D60's goin on so I'm not trying to talk ya into anything... These are just the reasons why Duane (Techtafab) does things this way. I think his kit is awesome, and so that's why I'm trying to help him out by selling it through my site and did the writeup on it.

Ill sticky this. But its worthy of a copy and paste into the tech write ups section.

Nice work on the write up. Brakes look nice also
