January 6, 200917 yr comment_305151 ok then will do.one last question,i also got the sx brake master cylinder resovoir kit ,should i fit that as well as it might have the better suited brake bias spring ??? to suit now going from drum brake rear end to disk brake rear end ,would that be rite ?? thanks glen PRB used to quote 2 different listings for the master cylinder. Supposedly, the SX (discontinued) one was of a larger bore. When I did my conversion, I did change mine, but PBR's listings also state that the standard M/Cyl is appropriate for Disc/Disc setups. My advice would be to fit it, assuming its still in working order. I believe there is a small difference in the Bias-ing between the Disc/Drum, Disc/Disc - but for the most part you wont notice it too much... however, open to corrections again....

January 7, 200917 yr comment_305270 yep i did the full s2 brake upgrade to my cs which had disc/drum and i didnt change the brake master, only noticed a slight increase in the front bias, but it wasnt and still isnt a major concern. but for the most part of it the ae9x already suffered from to much front bias to begin with, hence the larger rear discs on the next model(ae10x) :y: which will hopefully be the only thing i need to do to the brakes, when my turbo conversion is finished Edited January 7, 200917 yr by MYSTIK Report

January 7, 200917 yr Author comment_305380 Heh, i'm with you on that one too...although when i do get hold of some of those ae10x rears, i'll upgrade the fronts again too... hi guys, well i installed ok the rear disk brake end today. took me a good few hours to do. nicely painted red calipers and rotor surround!! i didnt change the master cylinder yet,but the car seems to be braking/nose dive at front more !! why is this?? how can i stop/fix this ?? if i change master cylinder over will this help ?? also what is the correct procedure to bleed brakes properely ?? rl,rr,lf,rf ?? and how times to pump brake each bleed ?? and doyou hold pedal to floor after a few pumps and then close bleeder ?? thanks guys glen Report
January 7, 200917 yr comment_305394 you have to much front bias, but so do all ae9X corollas changing the brake master should help even it out, (i didnt with brake conversion, but each to their own) the order of bleeding the brakes is correct, ive always had someone pump the brakes until they were hard, then opened the bleeder, i always have the second person call out before the brake pedal is flat the to floor.
