Question about rear disc brake conversion

[camry man68]

I'm researching how to convert my rear drum brakes to discs. Yes i have searched this forum. I have a 99 5sfe, i heard that there is an option for the 97-01 v6(1mzfe) camrys that has rear disc brakes, is that true? Do you have to replace the master cylinder when doing the conversion? The lexus es300 and camry solara have alot of interchangeable parts for the 97-99 camry's are dics brakes one of them? I got a few more questions but first ill wait till these are answered.

im pretty sure all v6 camry's will have rear disc brakes even if it does have ABS or not, but someone else can correct me if i'm wrong about that part...

not sure about the master cylinder tho..

Is the exact same for the Gen3?

that sounds pretty thorough (though I didn't go through it ALL) as instructions go...

and yes, ALL v6's had rear discs, and it would be the same procedure for the gen3.


to note as well though, for those who want to do this modification, upgrade to the v6 wagon rear brakes or the es300 rear brakes, as they have larger rotors and calipers than the camry v6 sedans do....so you may as well

also, I'm adding this thread with its link to the camry sticky/FAQ

the master are different, remove the resial pressure valve...

The document no longer exists, does anyone have an archived copy (site rip?) of this article? I'm interested in converting my car because servicing drum brakes is a pain and disks are more straight forward for me personally!

Thanks So Much!
