Saaber Neutral Newbie April 27, 2003 Share April 27, 2003 It is not as easy as just shifting the front rotor to rear, you will need to get the whole rear section from a corolla that got rear disk brake... Actually to have better brake capability, just use performance brake pad and if possible change all brake hoses to steel braided one.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkfung Neutral Newbie April 27, 2003 Share April 27, 2003 brand new bremo brake disc cost abt 130 and get a 350degree brake pad and u will be impress by the enhance braking effect if u upgrade to aftermarket brake pad, yr disc may wrap after some time...it better to upgrade disc & pad together. FK sells bremo disc and some pads or can try JC for advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
