Topic: Brake upgrade?

[madmax886]

So I have been seriously thinking about putting disc brakes in the rear on my 93 runner and doing the caliper and disc upgrade in the front.  I was curious if it is worth the 700 bucks for everything including the one inch master cylinder.  As of right now my rig stops pretty well but i cant lock up my tires, how much of a difference would the upgrades make?

if i was you i would get the 1 inch Master (assuming you dont already have one) v6 trucks

get the bigger front brakes,  before you go disc in the rear

   haha im dumb, i know the v6 calipers are better but you think they'll make a significant differnce?

yes it does i ran ifs, then when i did the sas i ran the old brakes for a little bit,  then i took and did the ifs swap to the old school stuff and it is good.

I did the disc rear, no porportioning valve, V-6 calipers and stock master cylinder. Can lock up the rear if I try hard and stops very quickly. I do have a v-6 master that I have not installed yet. I say go with what you have it stopped better than I anticipated so I never upgraded the master.

did you use a hydraulic press for the rear disc install, or do you have a trick i should know about, only cause i dont wanna have to rent one

check my sig for 2 types or rear disc setups that keep it all toyota, so u can use the old sfa front stuff in the rear.  and alot cheaper than the chevy swap stuff.
