Alternative rear disc conversion? - Toyota Yaris Forums

curiosity why not use a set of fronts?..ive got matching set on the shelf drilled/slotted that i could use...and it seems to me if you had matching front/rear rotor size youd have less brake bias issues..sure youd still need the prop valve and to tweak it to perfection but there would be a whole lot less need to compensate with matched size on all 4...heck i bet you could balance it out some more by useing a "softer" pad in the back than the front

i can get full lock out of the fronts if i really REALLY get on it tho its useualy just 1 not both, so adding brakeing to the rear would be glorious..but im not losing my 14s...so im looking for a solve..and i think youve solved "most" of it

also looking at getting a toaster!..a gen1 xb and i know thats the same parts under it and 14's are most likely what will be on it as well...so if i can make this work on the yaris it would be the same parts on the xb
