Installing Rear Disc Brake Conversion in Virginia - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #18258 7 posts Started by coustoe
well, i got all the parts for the rear disc conversion finally the rotors came in last week, I guess i just need the brake pads and some missing nuts and bolts.

Since its winter and freezing cold outside I'll probably have to work on the car in a garage, I have access to one but its a bit far away in quantico or Fort Belvoir. I wanted to get done with this in one day and drive the car away.

Never done anything with brakes so i know its gonna take me a while by myself.

If anyone is in the North Virginia Area I am willing to pay for help on this project for the weekend, if you have your own garage and jacks so much the better. I live at an apartment complex so i dont have a place to work on the car.

you really don't need anyones help. Read the how to. Its all there. Got to Ace hardware and buy the extra bolts you need.
ya i know it looks simple, but I also installed my own springs and thought it looked simple and it took me 3 days because of broken nuts and stupid little things that came up, I wanna get this thing done within 1 day.
Coustoe I dont know much about breaks either, but if you want help I can help sunday and the best thing is im free >wink.gif> Ill pm you my phone number I would love to help! Oh and I have jack stands >wink.gif>
i will be putting rear disc breaks on my 5th gen next week so if needed i will try to give you some help. I will be in southern maryland next week. I have done all of the mechanical work on my car myself and have changed brakes on several different types of cars. send me a pm if you want me to help you
