I think someone on here mentioned that the entire Camry front strut assembly (strut/spring/steering knuckle/rotor/caliper) will fit into the tercel with minimal modification. But I don't know for sure. Do some searching and you can probably find more info about it on this forum.

Also, you can install an AE86 Corolla GTS rear end into the tercel for the rear disk brakes on the back. You could also have LSD. You just have to make sure you have the same ratio diff in the rear as in the front.

iÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´ve decided to go extreme with my brake conversion, since i use 15 rims i wiil be going for tacoma 4wd 4 piston calipers an tacoma 2wd rotors with a tacoma master cylinder and i will find brakes the same size for the back, just today i bought the calipers 100 dollars the pair i have trd pads for 4runner which i hope improoves th braking i just have to fabricate the bracket so i can try them on

I found that all Toyota brake discs that aren't the old Tercel's have a different offset which interferes with the Tercel's caliper mounts on the steering knuckle. I accessed a list of brake disc dimensions on Brembo's website and found that for the Corolla GT-S calipers I'm using, BMW 3-series rotors from the 80's give me the right diameter, offset, and 4x100 bolt pattern leaving me with the wrong centrebore but that can be addressed with spacers. If you consider different steering knuckles and/or hubs there might be a whole new world of possibilities but I have compared steering knuckles and found the tercel's to be different than all the rest to the point where it doesn't look like it would fit.

the whole job is going to be custom fabricated and ill be going back no non threaded struts, i broke the threaded ones so in the mean time ill have to limp around

ps, the center hats of the rotors will be custom made from aluminium to reduce unsprung weight
