5 Lug Budget Big Brake Kit (No Caliper Brackets)

I wonder if this would work on my 1989?

 

Spindles are different on the pickups so these wouldnt work without a bracket.

 

dope ride. miss my single cab but my old man has it. good info

 

Hi everyone, has anyone tried this mod on the Second gen taco? the spindle looks very similar.

 

Spindles are different.

But you can check out these guys they offer a bracket for a budget bbk option.

thanks for the info brother

 

No problem!

 

I have a word of caution for the people preparing to convert their spindles to the Cadillac ATS calipers (I got them for a 2014). My 1995.5 Tacoma spindles have caliper mounting brackets with a center-center spacing of 5.123” (4.645”min & 5.600”max). The ATS calipers had a spacing of 5.040” (4.500” min & 5.580”max). I make no claim as to the accuracy of my measurements.

The calipers can be made to fit. But if you just enlarge the holes to 9/16”, you may find that the caliper will not bolt to the spindle.

The method that I may have used is to carefully use a die grinder to remove metal from the 4.65” value and get it down to 4.50”. I then may have used a 14mm drill bit on a small drill press to make sure the holes were cleaned up.

i may have also clamped the old rotor to the Subaru rotor for a template in drilling and tapping the 5 holes. Aligning them is crucial.

A machine shop would have done this better, but there may be people wanting to tackle this themselves.

This is an awesome upgrade. Now I just have to get those QA1 coilovers…
