get the lsd rear end..
worry about the 4age later lol
and yeh it can stop a 4age to some extent!
Hi all,
At my last service, the mechanic told me my rear brakes are due for replacement.
I still have ADM stock rear drum brakes...
Ive been quoted about $350 for replacement. Is this a bit steep?
How much would I be looking at to do a DISC brake conversion on the rears? would it cost alot including labour?
And if I were to eventually get a 16v 4age conversion (still a 4ac) will drum brakes have the stopping power for all the extra power?

$350 sounds VERY steep, what is "worn out" drums, linings, wheel cylinders,
wheels cylinder shoudl be about $25-30ea
Linings should be about $45 for a full set of 4.
and drums should be umm not very much, i'd take a guess at $45each maybe (i paid $52
a for my huge ass rotors on my Rangie, so they shoudltn be more than that) 600ml bottle of brake fluid is about $17 for the good shit
so id say yes its steep
Corolla kid is on the money. $350 is steep.
If the drums themselves are too worn then you should be able to pick up some cheap replacement secondhand/throw outs ones from someone who's gone disc/T series.

What about labour costs in replacing them?
I have no idea so thats why I have to rely on the mech to tell me how much its gonna cost.
As for a discs , what parts do I need for an entire conversion?
Not doing work yourself = grab your ankles when they give you a price.
$350 for brakes, drive in, drive out including parts may not be that much, but shop around and talk to some more places.
Hen
would 350 get me a disc brake conversion anywhere, drive in drive out ?
350$!!!! daym.....
i guess if you dont want to do it youreslf, then you dont have much choice, and labor is a killer......
you sure you need to replace all of that? not just shoes and linings? is the slave cylinder leaking at all?
yeah figure out what you need, and throw up a WTB, someone will have something cheap..ish for ya

a complete jap 86 disc rear is gona run you between 2 and 3 grand fitted however there are other disc options but all will end up being alot more $ $ including labour !
Like hen said labour= getting fisted !
no not now, not ever
and you dont need discs for the 'power increase' of a 4age
