Conversion: 100 to 114, Questions (REAR) Options

[smkr3w]

Alright, so my passenger side rear hub seems to be 'bent' or at least it's not centered correctly. And I was looking to replace them with my friends assistance but have an itch to address.

In the discussion of this thread HERE. It was said that the xv10 Camry's rear hub/bearing assembly can bolt onto the Celica's rear; which would mean the rotors would have to be re-drilled to 5x114 to mate with the new hub. Correct?

On eBay:
94-99 Celica Rear Hub/Bearing Assembly- $230
91-96 Camry Rear Hub/Bearing Assembly- $66

I figured since the price difference is relatively large. Than I should go the conversion route
Then I wondered if I can buy rotors for a xv10 Camry, would they fit the stock brake caliper?

Upon searching I found this info (unconfirmed):
--------------------------------- 94-99 Celica -------- 91-96 Camry -----
Outside Diameter:-------------- 269mm ----------------- 269mm ---------
-------------Height:------------ 64.6mm ---------------- 64.9mm --------
---------Nom Thick:------------ 8.9mm ----------------- 10mm ----------
----------Min Thick:------------- 8mm --------------------- 9mm -----------
-------Bolt Pattern:------------ 5x100 ------------------- 5x114 ----------

So with such a small difference in Thickness, while still having the same overall Diameter, Would it be possible to utilize the Camry's rear rotor as well?

Can anyone weigh in here?? I really need to fix my rear, because sounding like a wooden rollercoaster is getting old

GREAT!!!, now you may be able to help, because i have been looking at doing a rear disk convirsion for my ST AND a swap over to 5x114.5..... that being said i have no intent on purchasing parts that i dont need and will be replacing with new parts for the 5x114.5 swap... soooo

if any one can help me, that would be great.. if i am correct for this i would be looking at

camry rear hub, camry rear rotor, gt rear knuckle (or can i keep the ones for the st, but i am thinking that i will need the gt for the caliper mounts..), the plate with the internal parking break drum assembly, and gt caliper (though i am looking into rear caliper "OEM" upgrades like from a rav4/4runner/highlander)

and for the front, looking to do the same.. front to 5x114.5 with "OEM" upgrade... alot to cover, and for the most part already done on this site in one form or another, just not all in the same place or on the same car at once... but i do think it is possible see just as to how many of the OEM parts share the same critical specs (like caliper mounting points and bolts, rotor float offset etc)

fronts look like it will be fairly direct by this point, with the only real aftermarket part/ custom part being the break lines, slotted rotors and aggressive pads (for weekend racing like the EBC or HAWK line)

im sure i am missing some stuff.. but any help would be appreciated...

i now this is a bit of a hijack, if yall want me to start a new thread i will, just a large amount of the relevant data is already here... thank you
