I used high temp engine paint they didnt have brake caliper paint that i wanted. It took me about a couple of hours to do front and back. I converted the back from drum to disc.

Rear converted from drum to disc ---

But they still run off your ebrake line? I know discs are better for stopping, but are they better than drums for use as a parking brake? Do you ebrake a lot now?

No I havent tried to ebrake with the new ebrake set up I have. My tires are so bald they look like racing slicks no lie. But my breaking distance I would say cut down to at least half if not more. I think the rotors def helped but when I put the ceramic pads with them it was unbelievable. Only thing, I had to get used to late breaking I kept stopping short of everything.

I'd really like to see where you got your set up. What rotors are you using, what pads from where, 6th gen or 5th gen disk swap parts, etc.

I got the rotors off ebay. The GT calipers for the front And backing plates all around I got from a junkyard. Rear and all hardware ebrake etc..everything came from toyota for the ceramic pads i got from my local auto store ( CAPs). Steele braided hoses i got are Goodridge G stop havent installed them yet they are on back order.
