Disk Conversion On A Gs Model With G6R Brakes?

[toyotatomes]

Heya i have the Corolla GS which has drums on the rear (!Removed!) now seeing as the G6R is the same chassis is the whole rear beam needed off of one or is it a much more simple job of just switching them and running brake lines?

any information greatly appreciated.

You will need the hubs, discs, pads, calipers and brake cables. The ones from the facelift SR, G6R and the ealier AE101 GXI will fit. I went the GXI route.

E11 desiels have these too IIRC and there common as muck ;)

Is it an easy swap ?

[Steven252]

On a ramp/pit yes. On the floor using axle stands... Tricky!

I may make some phone calls tomorrow regarding the cost of buying the parts new ?

(That's if I get time :) )

I own a 1998 Corolla E111 Hatchback with rear drum brakes. Checking diagrams you can notice that the rear assy carrier comes in two versions. This means that apparently the version for the brake disks is different. It probably has the caliper bracket support? Nobody has been able to answer my question. By diagrams I could buy the rear dust plate and use calipers with hand brake system included as option shown in the diagrams. No need to change the hub that screws in. No need to use the smaller brake pads for the handbrake. If anyone can answer my doubts I will spend a reasonable €400 in parts to do the conversion.
