Gen5 Can I convert Rear Brakes?

I have Drum brakes on the back wheels of my 2003 LE, I see newer camrys with disc brakes on the back, I was wondering if there is any conversion kits out there for my car (go from Drum to Disc). Any links?

conversion is possible but i do not think the 2.4L needs the braking power of a rear disc

Hey, you started the thread, you will get negative replies because we all dealt with these same topics every month.

But yes, it's quite possible to convert your rear drums to discs, but it's a lot of work, labor, and money. Also, you'll need to do a lot of customizing with all the brake fluid lines and all. Good luck.
