real quick questions if you have time

I have a few question, real quick
is it possible to swap to rear disks from the awd model? and is it really hard to do or expensive? are their any direct or upgrades for the front brakes? maybe from a celica or 4 runner?
I am unfamiliar with McPherson struts,, since Most cars i had have had double wish bone, or independent suspension, can I slightly lower the car, as i plan to get new struts most likely kyb g2's. Can i match the kyb's with lowering springs, or will the geometry be offset with the front control arms in the McPherson strut system?


Thanks everyone, and I am sorry if I said something wrong in my mechanic lingo

You can swap the rear disks from the V6 FWD Camry with no modifications. Make sure you get the e-brake cables along with all the brake related parts and proportioning valve. Alltrac Camry rear disks do not swap over.

Front brake upgrades are possible, but its isn't something that has been well researched. Probably the front brakes from a Celica Alltrac are your best bet... as are possibly the '91 ABS equipped Camry front brakes.

Lowering the car is perfectly fine, though there are some downsides to going too low. There is a lot of information out on the web about it that will give you the general idea.

Good luck!

Thanks, i don't know where i am going to find a V6. no junkyards here in NY boroughs, anyways, I have another question the hubcaps i have on my wagon are old and the paint is chipping, can i buy new modern day oem hubcaps to swap out, maybe ones from a new corolla or camry, i like the new ones with the toyota sign. the rims on a stock wagon none awd are 14inch if I am correct no?

Thanks again

There were many more V6's sold than Alltracs - though the ratio depends on the area of the country (I've only ever seen one other Alltrac in person besides my own). Just be patient and you'll find one.

Unless you have aftermarket wheels or factory alloys, they are 14". Any standard 14" hubcap should pop right on there. Avoid the cheap hubcaps, as they will look bad in a year or less, but any new Toyota ones would be great.
