Brake disk question!

[njwrestler07]

I have a 99 4 cylinder camry that has front disk brakes but drum rear brakes, i saw the same year camry as mine the other day and it was the v6 and it had rear disk brakes. Does anyone know how hard it would be to change the drum brakes to disk brakes?

Unless you ride your car really hard, there is no point using disc on the back for your 2.2.
Most of the breaking is done by the front brakes

true, but you WILL notice a difference in performance. Plus it looks good.

and the DIY thread for this mod when ASG14 and myself did it on my car. Well...mostly ASG. haha

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but i disagree with yours. And since I doubt you've done this upgrade, I think my experience in the difference in braking performance of the car is more accurate. Not trying to be harsh. Just saying.
