I have a 93 camry that came with all 4 disc brakes from the factory. whats up with your car?

OMNI is your car a V6 b/c Tankedcook is a 4 cylinder. That could be the reason y. I know my 94 V6 camry came w/ 4 disc brakes.

If i remember right all XLE trim levels came with discs all the way around in the Gen3 so it is possible to find a Gen3 I4 with rear discs. Or was it if you got ABS on the Gen3 you got rear discs.

i have a LE. there may have been an option. not sure but all i know is i have front disk and rear drums

Go to a junk yard and do the swap yourself for Rear DISC BRAKES....

oops, yea v6xle. should be a direct swap for the 4 banger though, I would think. yea, just get them from a junkyard. remember to take a hammer.

Disc in rear does not offer much more stopping power.

Also you don't have ABS in your CE. Rear brake with more stopping power means skidding especially when the car is nose heavy during the stop.

Get the larger 11 " Front rotors , calipers and caliper (torque plate) mounts from the V6, ES300 or Solara while your at it.

And maximize the tire grip.

tyre grip ftw.

you can lock all 4 brakes with any of the standard set ups, just need better tyres

bigger brakes for better feel (and thefore control)

Chris,

You are correct with your second thought. The 4 wheel discs came only with the ABS option on the 4 cylinders. This was an $1100 option when I purchased my 94 new. I don't think the technology existed back then to do ABS with rear drum brakes; but that's just my guess.
