Does anyone know if there is a company producing rear wheel drum to disc conversion kits for 94-99 Celica ST's?

There is no company who produces it. But there is a real good how to on it in the How to section on the main page that lists all the parts and steps to install.

When my car gets out of the shop, I'm going to talk to one of our sponsors, Rotora, about making an OTS (Off-The-Shelf) kit for all the ST owners. That way, everyone who's serious about this conversion won't have to waste time sourcing parts. And mind you, the kit will consist of new parts.

aside from the better looks,
what else does this do for the car? my car stops really well with stock brakes. next time around i will get some ceramic pads and slotted/cross drilled rotors for the front. but will it make a noticable difference?(rear disk conversion) This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Dec 21, 2003 - 1:29 PM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

If you do track days it will, otherwise no. Drum brakes have virtually no cooling so they will get hot and stay hot after several aggressive stops. Disks have much better cooling and can easily have air ducted to them to cool them further.
