Toyota Rear Disc Conversion

whats the best budget rear disc conversion for a Toy 8" axle. which rotors/callipers, ect. did you use.
ahem..sorry. hope i wasnt stepping on any toes....

but i figured this was the type of info you were looking for anyway...
 
I have a 97 fj master cylinder no factory LSPV and an adjustable prop valeve with a 2lb residual valve in the rear. I used small GM calipers, K1500 rotors, and skys brackets. for hoses I just wnet through my brake hose book at work and found some like the GM but with metric thread and cut and flareed the facory lines.
 
Should also add that on my 4runner the pedal is soft but on my brothers that is an 85 with the same set up it is fine. May be the booster has something to do with that not sure.
 
I payed:
$16.?? for monte rebuilt calipers, NAPA
$50 for brackets, Ruff Stuff
$25 for Denali MC, NEW , Ebay
$15 for machining my rotors
Free rotors from a friend
 
Do you guys have issue with the rotor wobbling with it being semi-float and pushing the pistons in? Worth it to go to full float kit or not?

the rotor will be pinched between the tire, and the axle....

shouldnt be any wobble

Wow...nice tech info :haha:

What I was saying is typically a semi-float axle supported by one bearing will have more runout than a full float axle where the rotor is supported by two bearings. Just wondering if anybody is having issues with running the rotors on a semifloat axle
