Can someone tell me if it is possible to convert a ae82 '88 rolla sedan to 4 wheel disk brakes? Already has front disks, so I was wondering if the rear can be converted to disk.........if so where can I find calipers, disks, etc.... and will it help improve braking any?

 

Thanks,

It will probably improve braking, but I doubt if it would be a huge difference. Didn't the AE82 twinky hatch come with 4 wheel discs? If so, that would probably be the first place to look.

yes, ae82 fx-gt rear discs pretty much bolt up

Thanks, now to go hit the parts suppliers for what they have to give....well sell anyways. Might even be lucky and find all the right bits in one place......one can only hope.

 

Thanks again. Good to see everyone is as helpful as ever.

try and find an fx-gt at the wreckers, or importers. they're pretty rare cars, but they do pop up from time to time

 

did ae92 or 1xx have rear discs? you might be able to use them too? try it and see, only going to cost you a couple of hours at the wreckres with measuring calipers

AE92 Sedans never came out with Disc rear end... Only the SX and GTi hatches and Seca's...

 

AE101 Liftback and Sedan came with discs all round... They might line up but yeah, got no idea...

if you can find an import......

 

thing to remember with corollas is that ALL body shapes had all options.....

cept for ae92 wagons. ae101 and ae111 wagons however did have all options, as in 4age and 6 speed etc.

 

so getting back to the ae82..... yes the sedans had dics, they were the same as the hatchs brakes.

 

but really your best mod would be to change the fluid and fit some decent front pads, if thats not enough, fit better tyres and back sure your suspension works ok.

if you can lock uo ya wheels easy, then you don't need more braking power, you need more grip....

 

 

 

btw, my comments are based on a few different markets, i can't say if oz spec rollas had discs etc

Damn my lil hatch has drums on the back - hmmmmmmmm discs hey nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I like my little blue drums
