Changing drum brakes to discs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

eTiMaGo · 09-23-2006, 08:23 AM

I'm in a bit of a quandary... The Yaris here is only available with a manual transmission at the lowest spec level (damn lazy drivers!), and this means a lot of options are not included in the car such as the engine start-stop button, etc etc, and the rear brakes are drum brakes :(

So for both esthetic and performance reasons, I'd like to change those to disc brakes. Question is, does this seem feasible at all? Should I try to put in the stock rear disc brake system from a higher-spec Yaris, or go for an aftermarket upgrade for all wheels (and, which are recommended?)

Thanks!
