Stupid Brake Upgrade Questions

[conor]

Okay.. it's a pos 92 4-cyl autotragic... And it has drum brakes. I hate drum brakes. The local wrecking yard usually has 2-3 gen3 Camrys with 4-wheel discs, so I have the following questions: (and yes, I searched.. there's nothing in the FAQ either, haha)

- Can I just bolt all the rear disc stuff up to my car's rear suspension components?
- Do the rear drum brake lines fit the disc calipers?
- The V6 front discs are different, I understand.. same deal here? The V6 brackets bolt right up to my hubs, yeah?
- V6 master cylinder/proportioning valve bolts up?

If all goes well, I'll probably go ransack a car on the next 50%-off day

Thanks!

1. Yes, if you get the complete hub it will bolt onto ur suspension components.
2. No, different lines.
3. Im pretty sure you will need V6 hubs, correct me if im wrong please.
4. It should.

Thanks! I appreciate the help

I'll see if I can dig up more info.. I checked a Toyota dealer's catalog online and couldn't find different part #s for rear hubs on the V6s or I4s.. I think they're all the same.

Not sure if I want to bother with doing the fronts yet.. But I'd hope that the spindles are the same (with a different hub for the different axles) and just need the bigger caliper brackets to fit.. I guess I could just try swapping parts on a JY car, haha.

I'm pretty sure if you get the same year, the v6 stuff should just bolt right up. Hopefully I can do this upgrade also once I get some $$...
