Hi guys, I own a 7AFE 1996 1.8 ST
My rear hand brake is too high and my rear brakes are starting to give me crap.. it looks rusty and old.. Time for a re-build! So my question, what rear brakes are available for me? I'm after more upgrade then stock... Size? Just any info so I don't get the wrong stuff Thanks |

Hang on, so i will not be able to use my hand brake anymore?
When you talk about a GT set up, my rear has calipers on already, mine are disc drums if that makes sense? But if i can't use my handbrake, i'm sticking with disc drums and upgrading to drilled etc.. |

You can use your hand brake. You just need to switch to the PARKING BRAKE SHOES and hardware kit. The drum brake shoes won't fit inside of the rotor-drum. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.
