09 Corolla S Rear Disc Conversion - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

|-Goku-| · 04-08-2009, 08:19 AM

Would there be anyway to just take the Discs(and whatever parts are needed) from an XRS and put it on an "S"??

I was thinking about getting the discs parts from a damaged XRS, but would like to know what I would need to do, to make everything work propery.

Thanks for the help in advance..

P.S. I don't need any negative comments

yeah and would that void the waranty?

Haven't got a clue but there certainly could be issues other than stuff just bolting up/on. Disc brakes have/require different proportioning than drum brakes and there may be differences in the ABS setup also.

Its possible, do a forum search, I think someone else looked into it and Jeff gave some advice...

caliper brake assembly

The next one is the best one I think...

XRS question...

Dont do it!!! Take the damaged XRS and fix it if possible.

Thanks for the Info everyone

And I don't want an XRS. I like my Gas Milage.k, thanks

Anything is possible, but it's expensive as hell. You might have better luck with aftermarket rear disc kits... maybe.

Hopefully this will help. Im sure if you could do it on the 9th gens then there is a way on ours..

If such conversion is possible, then it would be very costly but you must choose a very reputable place to have it installed...The braking system is just too crucial...

I understand the differences in disc and drum.

But what exactly are the drums not doing in your day to day driving that you think you need to upgrade to discs?

I haven't done it on a Corolla but I have done it on numerous other cars.

Some of them are very simple and some aren't.
it is something that you have to have a certain skill level to do but you don't have to pay to have things done to your car.
