Rear axle swap out for disc brake upgrade + 5 lug conversion

Our resident SCCA National Champion (Jason@SportsCar) has run stock rear drums for years on his HP and B Spec Yarii, says that there really isn't a need to mess with it since almost all of the braking happens up front anyway.

I've considered it for my DD as well, mostly for cosmetic purposes. It's already running Corolla calipers and SE rotors up front. That said, Project 2ZR Vios would be an interesting candidate for a rear-disc conversion. It would also require the brake balancer from an SE, or an aftermarket equivalent.

Probably should have read the entire thread before replying.
