Those interested in doing the rear disc swap Options

Make sure you have all the parts you need before starting the swap, Especially on a Friday afternoon after the dealer closes. Anyway, I ordered my parts from TAP. Very nice people to work with. I received all the parts, except the GT brake line. I went to every single auto parts store and no one carries the part in stock. So I went to the dealer to order it, adn it was 130 for both sides. I decided to talk to my Mech to try to get a discount some place. Turns out Theres this brake specialist by me that makes steel braided brake lines for every kind of car, truck, airplane, semi. I have new steel racing lines in 1 hour. 60 bucks. Amazing. Fits great.

On a side note, The parts I received from tap were off a 92 celica. Well thats what was written on the calipers, so Im guessing thins means that 5th gen rear brakes will work fine. They bolt up great and I had no problems with the parts.

BTW 350 shipped is what it cost me to Cincinnati, OH

The 5th gen stuff is all the same. I forgot the brake lines when I did it also. I just had to go back and get the lines (freebie!). Thats one of the advantages of getting the stuff locally.

How do you like the stainless lines? I've got the adapters now, i just need to order the lines and put them on. Unfortunately I've been too busy with other stuff lately.

well the steel lines work really well. The problem is that the RR caliper is frozen. It was kinda stiff when I put the tire on so I thought hat it was just the pads. Turns out the caliper was frozen. Turn my rotor white hot which warped them accoding to my mechanic. I have to call TAP back and get a new caliper that works, and hopefully reimbursement for my damaged rotor.
