    Drum to disc conversion.

    I just brought a 05 S and was upset that it had rear drum brakes. Is there any way to convert from drum to disc? I looked under the car and seems that it would be pretty easy but, I wanted to know if any one has done it and how it worked out. I cant imagine putting some 18s on and seeing the stock drums! Please Help

    VPower.net sells a rear disc conversion kit, or you could try to use the corolla XRS ones. 16"+ rims a must.

    You don't need rear discs, the drums have more than enough braking power and the SSBC rear disc conversion make the rear rotors 12" so you would have WAY too much brake bias back there unless you got 12" or 13" rotors up front too. Rear discs are just for looks on our cars :wink:
