Rear disc brake conversion?
I know the SE models comes with disc brakes in the rear, and the rest have drums.
Is there a kit to convert to disc? My drums are getting excessively noisy, and I bet discs are much quieter. Thoughts and advice? Thanks! |

You're going to need the SE's rear torsion beam because the caliper mounting points are part of the beam.

and the rear beam axle wont bolt up to an older Yaris say MK2 mount points are different if you can get your hands on a set of caliper carriers you are set with the 2012 SE parts
edit: the e-brake lines are different length as well

So are you saying that a 2012 (or 2014, like mine) SE axle beam wont fit on the same year LE axle beam? Moreover, this picture you shared you said is a conversion, so how/where can I get it? |

The only way to make this work would be to get the rear torsion beam, caliper, and e brake cables from a wrecked mk 3 SE Yaris. Since there are very few wrecked mk 3 SE trim Yaris around your odds of finding one may not be so good. Buying these parts new is not really an option since it would be very expensive for the marginal performance boost. Since the Yaris is a very light car and 80% of the braking force comes from the front brakes I feel that rear disc's on the Yaris are more of an aesthetic upgrade. Also rear drums often require no maintenance and can typically last 120K before needing replacement.

You're entirely not wrong. My desire is honestly pure aesthetic. The squeaking is because it's cold outside it's not THAT big a deal. Yea I was just wondering if there's a reasonable kit out there, I guess not. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Something is different with the mounting points to the car with the beam axle of the 2012 vs lets say the 2008. I have the Runstop rear disc conversion so I possibly can just use those carriers and get the 2012 rear caliper/rotor/pads. The E-Brake lines are also different lengths.

I work at a junkyard I'm just waiting for a 2012 SE to pop up.
