Alternative rear disc conversion?

Hell yeah you have been shopping, this is going to be a sweet setup!

Yeah little by little… I had to do my research first before I pulled the trigger. ��
You guys taught me something, to not use a long one piece hose, unless it’s braided. But I think I’ll just stick with what I already have.
The bracket relocation is easy. I think I know what to do now, and hope to install next weekend. I need to use the drill press at work. ��

I went ahead and bought the Yaris calipers….

As I suspected, the caliper carrier’s bolt patterns are the same for the Corolla and Yaris. I went ahead and drilled the holes for the hub to clock the calipers at 3 and 9 o’clock. Don’t worry, if I reproduce them they won’t look like Swiss cheese…

Yeah you can even bolt on twin pots from the BRZ levin, I was looking at some for sale. But my brakes are fucking fantastic now and i don't think I need it. Some people said the Bosch pads were not so great but these semi metalics are really nice feeling, Cofidence has gone up in the car again.

The new brakes went from under 200% to almost 300% braking by mass on the brake testing machine when I got the last warrant and the pads had not worn in yet.

I can't wait for my disc conversion to get installed this weekend. Although I don't have ABS, I know my braking confidence will also increase.

I'm adding another project, my pursuit of 5 X 114.3 PCD...
