You'll have to change out a lot of parts, make your own brackets to mount the calipers, possibly have to change the booster and the MC, and most likely the proportioning valve. On a car this old? Look for rear discs on your next car... |
Why the hell would you want rear discs on a FWD car? They are a major pain
in the ass. Rust, seizure, uneven wear, all sorts of crap. Rear discs are
good for Arizona and SoCal, nowhere else.
Drums on the rear are the best way to go. Drums won't give anybody any
boners, but they work.

I've got a 94 Corolla, and am interested in converting my rear brakes from drums to disks (and maybe upgrading my front disks to larger ones), but don't know where to start. |
www.pixcl.com/lancerproject.htm : The site is related to Mitsubishi
products, but the same upgrade engineering concepts are relevent to any
manufacturer.
You could sum it up by saying that the bigger Celica GT brakes can be
adapted to the Corolla. Some assembly and fabrication is required.
