Is there a Drum to Rotor Kit? - Toyota Yaris Forums

dbaxter · 08-02-2006, 03:25 PM

I searched here and didn't see anything? Checking google and yahoo now to see if there is a replacement kit out there.

Rather have rotors on the back, the GT3 Royal Red rims should look great with the Absolute red.

That's a good question as I was wondering the same thing. I'm pretty positive that I've seen pics of the 07 Yaris Liftback with rotors on the back. If a kit is released, I'll be all over it.

Me too... Saw pics of people powdercoating and painting the drum, but rather just replace with rotors.

Rotors > Drums in every aspect.

There was a memebr here from CANADA with the rear rotor upgrade. Not sure what he sourced all his parts from though..

The JDm Vitz has rotors on all 4 wheels I believe.

I check on the Toyota Europe EPC, The 1.0, 1.3 and 1.4d Yaris have the rear brake rotor (optional). I am still checking the the Japanese model. It should be vitz rs only.

If you do find it please post up where to get them. thx

top of the line models here also have rear discs... but no manual transmission!

I checked through those detailed manuals in the DIY section, it should not be a major problem to swap the drums out, just a matter of finding the spares for the rotors and calipers!!!

ToyVitz · 09-26-2006, 09:50 AM

I would consider doing this as well. Discs are just easier to work on and they look 100 times better with a nice set of wheels than drums. Also I would want the discs to have about the same stopping power as the drums. I wouldn't want that backend to start to pitch out from behind me.

Anyone know if the rear brake from matrix would fit over 07 yaris?

I would say no since the Matrix uses a 5 bolt disc and the Yaris uses 4. I would be interested to see if the MR-S might have something in store for us.
