REAR Disc's ??? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey All,

I've been looking into putting braided lines on my 99, but supply is a bit iffy. seems they are either expensive or come from canadian suppliers. lotsa brake stuff made up there it seems. alot of these sites only make the 98-02 which is hte AE101, correct? in a rear disc version.

Now I have never heard of that gen rolla having rear disc's

Is this a canadian thing, an asian thing, or are they just confused in the sales office and I should buy the parts anyway

AE101 is 93-97

ZZE110 (1ZZFE motor) is the 98-02 Corollas, I'm not 100% sure but I think only the "S" models had disc brakes, the AE110 (4AFE/4AGE/7AFE) was not made for the North american market and I believe they did have rear disc brakes available on those cars, in which case the parts may be made for those models.

My 01 LE has drums in the back.

I have seen this gen with discs in the back, but only if they have the ABS I believe.

How hard would it be to go from drums to discs?

disc conversion? Dunno, but I'm there if I can keep the knuckle. That long bolt that holds the track rod and toe rod to the knucke has eluded my best efforts WHEW talk about frozen!

My haynes manual makes NO reference to a disc on the rear in any way even in the abs codes etc, no reference at all. it covers 93-2002

My 04 Corolla S had disks at the front and drums at the rear. It was practically identical to LE/CE except the bodykit and interior color and accents. As far as I know, only XRS came with disks on all four wheels with EBD standard.

my 01 S had drums in the back but i did a conversion

wow..... lots of mis-information on here....

in north america (not 100% sure about the XRS) but the only corolla's to get rear discs were the gts's... (ae86 and ae92's)... everything else had drums...

any 93-02's that you have seen with rear discs was a conversion.... the ae92 hubs will fit, but you need to lengthen the e-brake cables

XRS has 4 wheel disk brakes (shared with Celica GTS) with EBFD + ABS.

haha.. I thought the Corolla S being the sportier model out of the bunch had disc brakes available.

Kr0n1k · 07-09-2007, 12:07 PM

I think the only sporty thing on the "S" was the spoiler.

moviestar · 07-09-2007, 12:14 PM

i think dr. tweak sells a rear disc conversion kit, which is basically just redrilled celcica rotors if i recall

RAILZ01 · 07-12-2007, 04:39 AM

Moviestar is right. I bought my kit from Dr. Tweak.

Piloter · 07-12-2007, 05:13 AM

When did you pick it up? I got in touch with him last year about it, and he said he was redoing the kits and didn't have them available...between one thing and another, I never got around to re-inquiring.

vibebreaker · 07-12-2007, 10:11 AM

he supposedly improved it by not having to modify anything on his kits now.

January.
