    remember, suspension is different between the two, so a simple "hub swap" probably wont' work.

    custom fabrication?

    From what I hear, the rear disc conversion for the 03+ corolla is actually too extreme. Even though it's a single piston caliper, because the rotor is so large, the rears will still lock up before the front.

    If there is a way to do a XRS rear disc, do it. Even if it's more money. Just upgrade the rotor with something cross drilled and get some good pads. Then you'd just need a big brake kit in the front and you'd be set.

    I just got some PowerSlot cross drilled rotors and some Hawk Pads and over the stock setup I had its insanely smooth and noise free stopping. I think the slots help vent the gas layer that builds up between the pad surface and disc under heavy braking.
