Hi all, I have 69 corolla, ke10 2 door. im wanting to a brake up-grade to the rear drums to disc brakes, Ive already sorted out whats happening to the front. but just wanting any info about this conversion, if any one has doe it before?
Im wanting to possibly keep the old corolla diff assembly & adapt different hubs/brake assembly to Disc brakes. Does anyone have any ideas, has dont it before or know of an ideal set up for my rolla.
any info is a big help Smile

one possibility could be series 1 or 2 RX7 rear discs...
haven't had a good look at one yet, but they have same stud pattern, and if it's an 'over' type disc, can't be too hard?

'rotorace' do you have ke10??

I was going modify some S1 Rx7 front struts & totally change the suspension & braking of the car. But after a good talk through on it all. I think we will be going with a type of corolla strut with racing spring, fully adjustable ride height & camber etc. The finer details still need to be worked out. But we will hopefully end up with a set up very much like the photos ive added. Im planning on changing the brake master cylinder also & front brakes, I want the car to handle & brake at the best It can. With all going well, a good engineer mate & an A grade mechanic boyfriend,& automotive exp myself everything should be all good!
Photos are of an rx7 with corolla strut,racing suspension,fully adjustable ride height,camber/casterwith custom modified brake rotors & Wilwood custom calipers.Looks pretty trick.
