I was out at the junkyard this past weekend getting a rollbar for my 84 4Runner that didn't have one.  Found one for $15.  Anyways, I found an IFS 4Runner with the front calipers still on there.  I want to convert to the FJ rotors and IFS calipers.  They wanted $20 a piece, $40 a pair.  Is that too much to pay for brake calipers?

Thanks  :beerchug:

sounds good to me, however, if i can ever do a sas on my 87 then i will have a set with less than 10000 miles avail.

Uhhh...won't you keep your calipers and do the vented rotor conversion while isntalling the axle?

Also, Pepboys sells loaded reman IFS calipers for like $35 ea.  The pads are junk, but the calipers are usually pretty well rebuilt.  Might check that out, as opposed to unknown condition junkyard calipers...

I usually hate Pepboys junk, but a buddy put 'em on his truck and they work fine.  my  :twocents:
