um how bout some brembo caliper covers?

just kidding!
Zeriam, would he have to make a bracket to hold the caliper in the back? wouldn't it be easier to probably get a disc brake diff? like a galant or sumtin and fabricate to fit for the ke??

toymod, Not sure if i am any help, but i got a pair or complete spring n shock with rotors and calipers foreign used for my KE 70, the rotors and calipers are actually the same on the Tercel, gives great stopping power.
For the back its a bit different, the Diff on the Wagon id a bit bigger than the Sedan, i think..... You will have to experiment, i was trying myself, but i did not want to commit the money for the upgrade
This will involve removing both axles from the diff, then removing the plate with the slave cylinders and brake shoes. Leaving them all off, put back the axles on and make sure you seal them properly. the next move is to acquire a set of rear discs from a Club S laurel, the bolting pattern is the same. cut off the caliper bracket with a saw, and machine your axles for the rotors to go over them. also you need to get extended studs. once studs are in place, and the rotors on, the caliper can be put in place with the bracket hanging. once offered onto the banjo, the caliper bracket is ready for welding. after that, its just the brake lines and the tricky handbrake cables. May have to change the booster and Master cylinder for more pressure.
if you have time and money, its worth a try, i never did, cuz i only had that one car at the time, i am gonna try this as my KE 70 is down for now.

P11 is 4x114. I did this on my ke 70 wagon. I did not weld the brackets, but lined the caliper and rotor and made a template of the bracket to bolt on my diff. It a little more work and time, but I rather the bolt on than welding.

Try to look around for a Celica or something within that year model, Toyota uses many parts which are interchangable. It just takes some time to look around the bamboo for options. The things I have found within the Toyota line which works with other Toyota models are staggering.
