I would almost wonder if the rear discs would need more or less brake line pressure from the master cylinder and whether the abs would screw things up too. This seems almost as nasty to do as getting a 6 speed from over there put into a US spec car.
Well, after getting nervous that Toyota discontinues the dust shields very early on, (Amayama is not able to get them for the conversion), I found a www.megazip.net said they are able to get them, and I pulled the trigger on parts I deemed necessary from both companies:
Axle: 42101-74020
*Dust Cover (RH): 47803-74010
*Dust Cover (LH): 47804-74010
Brake tube (NO.3): 47323-74020
Brake tube (NO.4): 47324-74020
* From MegaZip.
Now to sweat the waiting to see that the parts come!!!
I realized afterwards I forgot this doesn’t include the calipers, brackets, and pads. Cheaper it seems to source here...
Yes.
The caliper, bracket, and pads I plan to get here as the parts are same as a Yaris as far as I know. The rest are unique to the rear disc iQ and are not available here in the USA from Toyota/Scion parts departments.
Forgot also need rotors!
Very true.
Big package with the axle is in Oakland, CA, with expected delivery by 8:00 pm today....
