Maybe this is old news to some folks here, but *I* certainly didn't know. Years back, John Lye and Lee Janssen documented the tricks for mounting Toyota 4-pot calipers on the TR3-6. http://www.vtr.or

Chris, Since the TR6 and the GT6 don't share brake rotors, you probably can't use the slightly modded Toyota Cressida rotors that fit the GT6. However, I know that our friends in the UK have fit vent

I don't *really* care about the stock steel wheels, though they're an interesting data point (I have three different sets of aftermarket wheels for the GT6+). I'm not planning to go to vented rotors

I have long assumed that the advantage of the front disc and rotor upgrades is primarily their consistency, along with better pedal modulation and feel - rather than much of a quantifiable decrease i

Which 4 Runner? They have different sized rotors at least on the post 96 4Runners, depends on if 15" or 16" wheels are fitted... Please advise? Many Thanks Lion <A HREF="http://community.webshots.com

I installed the Toyota 4 Runner 4 piston calipers on my TR6 a couple of years ago and I like them although they do require increased brake pedal pressure which I don't mind. The mounting holes do nee

Leon, Here is the info on the TR6 vented conversion. These specs/part numbers apply to US spec Toyotas - don't know if the UK/Euro/Aussie models are the same. The vented rotor conversion uses rotors

Throughout this thread people are referring to the Toyota 4-pot conversion as using vented rotors. I don't believe that is the case, and this conversion uses 1-piece rotors. Am I wrong? I'll be pres

Shane, There are two "conversions" using the Toyota 4 pot calipers. The first one uses the stock TR6 rotors and early 4-Runner/HiLux calipers. The other one uses slightly modded Toyata Cressida vente

For those of you that are running this - what did you do at the caliper end? The factory calipers have a short hard line that connects to a bracket on one of the mounting bolts - that's awfully fiddl
