Big Brake system conv.

Hello everyone, quick questions, I'm about to do a conversion to my rear drum to a disc and also thinking about putting on the Brembo Big brake kit!!!

I was wondering would it be an easy swap for the Big Brake Kit.
I have already had looked at the thread posted some time ago about the rear disc conversion, so I know that. Does anyone know if the Kit comes with rear calipers and discs as well or would I still have to buy them separately.

Any Help on this topic would be great help!!!

hes talking about a front big brake kit and the rear conversion seperately. but he wonders if the "brembo big brake kit" would include rear calipers and rotors as well as front.

i've never heard of a brembo big brake kit for camrys.
ive yet to see one.
also i have never seen ANY big brake kit come with rears for any car.
the only big brake kit that was ever around as far as i know for the camry was the brackets ericsol (from camryman.org) made. i got a set of them with supra rotors, they worked great. ive since sold them to allen (ufoz8mycow) and he uses them on his car now.

A 350 on my team has Rotora 6 pot calipers in the rear.



It's mostly for show and WOW factor. He has both front and rear. There are also kits out there that have TWO calipers per wheel. i've only seen it on an Audi A4

2 calipers per wheel is a little much... it would genereate too much heat and not allow enough area for the heat to release.

Id be happy with 14" rotors and 6 pot calipers in the front and 13" rotors with 4 piston calipers in the rear. A man can dream right?
Well, Rotora can make you a custom set up from $1200.

You'd have to probably talk to a distributor or contact Brembo themselves.

Contact Brembo, they always happy to make custom stuff for an exchange of pocket lint. *wink wink*

Ne ways, big brake kits are FREAKIN EXPENSIVE. $1,000 plus! I never knew brakes were that expensive when I first started reading car magazines
