rough cost of hilux-pug-corona brake conversion	Sat, 03 January 2004 06:34

looking into brake conversions, what have you guys out there spent roughly on this conversion? I have some RA65 sturts complete with brakes lined up but have heard that they cause camber probs.... Brendon [Report message to a moderator]

If you are buying new rotors, expect to pay about $250-$300 for the pair. The calipers will be anywhere up to $200 for the pair but some people are lucky and get them a lot cheaper (I paid $35 each). Optional is a re-seal kit for the calipers which is about $100 per caliper if you pay someone to do it.. or about $30 if you do it yourself. If the pistons are shagged then they are $20-$25 each. I would recommend new brake hoses (about $60 for the pair) and of course new brake fluid. And finally, pads are up to you, you can pay anywhere from $30 to $400 for a set of brake pads, and this is what ultimately defines how good your brakes are! I would be looking at some quality pads about the $100-$150 mark. So: $300 rotors $200 calipers $ 60 brake hoses $ 20 brake fluid $150 brake pads And then optional rebuilding of the calipers can be as much as $200 for the pair plus an additional $20-$25 for any piston (there are 8 in total) that is not salvageable. I would probably budget $1000 for those parts - and depending on your car (if you need a strut conversion or any other bits) then budget a bit more! Hope this helps.

Also you'd be silly not to fit new wheel bearings and re-grease everything... so allow another $100 for that. [Report message to a moderator]

For a pair of RT132 struts I paid $50. Each brembo rotor (OE replacement for Pug 605) cost me $95. A pair of Hilux 4 pot (LN106) calipers cost me $195.00. I had the rotor's redrilled at 45 degress offset for the right PCD for the hat mounting bolts, and the rotors machined down in diameter from 273mm to 268mm so they did not foul the inside of the hilux calipers. This cost me a 6 pack of bundy and coke, and if you do this don't forget to get the rotor minimum thickness of 18mm re-engraved onto the edges of each rotor. New hoses, wheel bearings, grease etc. Rebuilt the calipers and painted them as well. Fitted 1mm thick washers on the caliper mounting bolts to space them out more equally across the rotors. Panelled flat the inside raised sections of the dust/backing plates and cut out bigger sections in them to clear the bigger hilux calipers. I think that was about all..... Think about upgrading your MC from 13/16 to 15/16 at the same time. The smaller MC will give you a softer pedal with more travel than the original set-up, as there is more fluid to move in the calipers now. Mitch.

thanks guys will be doing this soon too. out of interest what pads are you running? FWIW the std TA22 master cylinder can be re-sleeved to 15/16 to help with pedal feel. OOI - has anyone fiddled with bias adjustment after doing this change? [Report message to a moderator]
