9thGen Corolla Rear Disc Conversion

9thGen Corolla Rear Disc Conversion

Got my car with the rear disc conversion done last week by Dr Tweak down in Savannah, GA. This is probably the best investment and modification you can make in your car and I must say it is all worth the money and time to get it done professionally. The car now feels more positive as far as braking performance and you could actually feel it having more bite than the stock drum brakes without pressing hard on the pedal. Did some heavy panic brake test and the rear disc brakes have yet to lock up even without changing the brake PV. Had a problem with the e-brake due to cable issues but after some mods Dr Tweak got it to work just like factory.

Visit his place (www.southerncarcustoms.com) down in Savannah, GA or give him a call. They do excellent work.

DT, I’m still thinking of the auto/manual conversion but I need to get my Supra back into action first with the 1JZ swap, so don't forget about it.

I...Hate...You.

NICE mod man. I am so wanting that. Dr. Tweak is in Savannah? Man I'm an hour from the GA border. Maybe I need to go see him. Hey man can you take more pics? Also, if you don't mind how much did it run you; parts and labor?

Thanks - $650 parts and labor and trust me it is worth it.

Thanks for the feedback

I've actually got a ton of pics that I need to upload and post up.

Wow, what parts do you need to make this happen and can you buy stock rotors for the setup or do you have to drill them out?

I'll post up a how-to in a few minutes with everything you need. It's not too hard on the 9th gen, the 7th and 8th are much harder.

Son of a bitch, I have an 8th gen, DOH!

Barnacules, I have an 8th gen here that I'm perfecting my rear disc conversion on, once it's done then I'll release it again.

that's badass man, defenetly looks good

NOOOOO!!! I"m not the first... meh.. oh well... looks nice, can't wait untill I get mine done... let us know if you run in to any major issues with it...

eh, I did a rear disc swap.. didn't notice all that much difference to be honest.

I noticed a difference when I first had it done on my 8th gen. I guess I have gotten used to it over time since I don't notice the difference anymore...however when I'm driving the 07 Camry..I notice the braking power from the rear..
