Rear SE axle beam swap

[yariseggvvti]

Have any one done a Yaris SE rear axle beam swap? If you had done one, please give a list of parts I need. Post some pictures please.

Thx!

what, swapping JUST the beam? Most of the swaps are complete off a junker...give or take the 2 ebrake cables.

you can get more info on swapping off this theory thread. my post #5 isnt much a theory, more of a laundry list of what the rear disc setup is made out of.

complete rear axle beam swap. I looking for it from junk yard now and its hard to find one. What additional parts beside complete axle beam assy i need?

nothing, really. you might prefer a more front bias again and get an SE brake booster and proportioning valve, but really isn't needed. (i seem to forget if there's something else under the hood related to that booster area)

setup as is, the swap will make your rear brake pad last as long as your fronts.

Thanks for the advise.

just fyi your rear brakes will be larger than your fronts after the swap lol.

you can do a corolla front brake swap to balance it out...

na..that's too much. the reason getting rear disc brake cuz it has drum there.

this will be the last mod of my ten years yaris.

i dont know about being too much..at least think about running the bigger disks + SE front calipers later.

Better question would be why do you need rear disc brakes compared to drum brakes?

Because, when glimpsed between the spokes, a disc with painted caliper looks cooler than a rusty drum?

Good point. For everyday driving, the OEM disc/drum brake set-up works very well on this little car.

But, like WeeYari stated, maybe it "looks cooler" with disc brakes on the rear.

Ah, true. Only if it weren't so costly.

[tmontague]

Imo if Jason, Tom others can track/race their Yaris' on stock drums, then there's no reason for rear discs other than looks

[enviri]

there's another: ease of maintenance.

adding little bit more weight and get more stopping power.

ease of mainentence and suchs. have you ever seen a drum brake its a pain in the butt to get new shoes on and their is four of them. not just one or two pads like on a disc break caliper.
