Rear disc conversion parts? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

OK, so I'm looking to do the rear drum to disc conversion on my Gen 4. I have a DIY I found (not sure where, but its REAL good. Lots of pics/tips). The one thing holding me back...I can't find a boneyard with a V6 anywhere around me that I can pick the parts off of. So, does anyone know if there's a site to order these from?

Do you work at Russel? If so, I almost bought an 01 Gallery Edition from you guys...

Yeah I do. you got the VIN from your car and I can price out that rear converstion for you..i will make it cheap as possible...i can even call the junk yard i deal with and see what they got.

Excellent. It may be a month or so, but I'll PM you when I've got everything lined up.
Can you give me an estimate? Basically I'll need 2x Backing plates w/ all e-brake hardware & cables, hub bolts, proportioning valve, and o-rings for the hub. Everything else I can get aftermarket (rotors, calipers, lines, e-brake cables, etc) unless you guys can top the price...especially on the calipers, since they've got a core charge...

Yeah, I have the DIY...I just can't find the parts anywhere.

u might have to travel a bit to get the parts.
all the best.

i would not do it personally cos of the time involved and I do not think i really need the extra braking power.. but it sure looks nice though. esp if you have alloy rims

Thanks. This is really one of those 'if I can pull the parts for a reasonable price' type of things. I think it looks a lot cleaner/better. I don't think I need the extra braking either, more that I hate the rumble/vibration from the drums during middle to heavy braking.
