Rear axle swap out for disc brake upgrade + 5 lug conversion

[Jason@SportsCar]

As others have pointed out, you don't need rear disc brakes. Having raced our Yaris at some of the fastest tracks in North America: Daytona, Road America, Indy, and some slower ones that murder brakes, we never ran anything but stock shoes in the rear.

Now if you want the look just press the easy button and swap in the SE front and rear set.

You really don't want 5 lug hubs on a small car like this... The 5-100 just plain sucks for wheel selection. And the 5-114.3 is really only good for 17"+ choices.

Duly noted about not needing disc brakes in the rear, but it'd definitely look better with disc brakes all around.
Swapping the SE rear axle might be the easiest route for the rear disc conversion, but proves to be more difficult cause I can't readily find the axle, and it's more pricey than say you trace the mounting plate and do the sandwich kit. Welding will be required for ebrake cable brackets.
If I were to do the 5 lug conversion, I'd use the xB stuff, it would be a hell of a brake upgrade and cool factors, plus I'd rather do the 5X114.3, didn't you see that ebay wheels that I posted? I think they're beautiful! Might look even better on the Vios.
