4th Generation Price check swap drum to disc, labor and parts

hi, newbie here, trying to do little thing change to my camry after reading the toyota nation, feel family here.
i am trying to swap my rear drum brake 4cyl 00 camry to disc brake. called junk yard auto parts today, they said they do have a 00 avalon rear disc set could be use.
i was wondering if any of you knowing if it will fit and what is the price to buy and install? also, they do have 2000 6cyl sienna front calipers. will them help more than the stock calipers (little bigger), any body know the price range to buy?
i will drive down there this weekend, if i know the fair price range, that will help me to make a quick desicion to meet the budget and waste little more money on my good braking working order car. it is on brake, so i feel it should be worth. and also, if somebody did it before, any other mod combination would save labors since the swap. rear struts bar maybe? others?

thanks!

The use of larger calipers (assuming rotors, mount, etc) will give you more braking surface area.

That should result in less brake fade under hard or frequent braking or long duration braking (eg down hills) Is your car going to be modified so you need more braking power?

You will need wheels larger than 14" to clear the larger caliper. And it will add to unsprung weight.

look up the user kocho, and there should be link to a good DIY with parts listed.

I really do not believe that there is an advantage to have disc in rear in terms of braking performance especially if you are driving normally, other than looks. The rear disc set up has a lot more parts.
The majority of braking is done with the front set.
