Rear disc brakes

Has anyone installed the rear disc brake kits available.

 

I've seen a couple of swaps posted. Here is some light reading:

I have seen a couple done one was a 2016 and other an 2018 and both love them but had a negative comments about the parking brakes kinda suck after doing because the surface contact area is greatly reduced and when wet they hardly work. <----those are comments from the two guys that did theirs not my opinion because I have not done it but been researching it Also other comments were that the pads do not last as long as the drum shoes.

 

No, and I personally don't think it's worth the time, money or effort.

 

Thanks, after reading all the posts i think i well spend my money on another up grade.

 

Larger front brakes, calipers would help without messing with the rears

 

Drums are more efficient then disc on the rear that’s why they are there... unless you plan on running Daytona. Better to put your money up front.

 

My wife's new 4Runner has rear disks but the Taco's brakes stop better. I'd spend money on something else.

 

I don’t have a problem with the braking so far. Drums just seam so old school is all.

 

They are newer than disc by a few months.

Disc, technically, is more old school.

 

This is complete BS. The drums are fine, but they are not more efficient, nor is that the reason they are there. lol

 

They're old school in the sense that the Tacoma is about the only new vehicle on the road still using them. Even even the cheapest econoboxes are almost all four wheel disc.

 

Really, i still remember my 65 GP Pontiac and how the drum brakes would fade and you felt like you picked up speed when you

 

Yes, yes. But as you know, I don’t care what the other vehicles are doing. The other vehicles are Hyundai sonatas, Kia souls, Jeep Libertys, fuckin FORDS...


AKA basic Karen and chad vehicles lol

 

Reset the counter.

 

Okay!

 

Imo drums are for music, not for brakes.
