So here it goes, another All Trac brake thread. I liked all the other ones but I'm not throwing down $800 for calipers whether it be Porsche or ST205, I refuse to dump that much money in an 80's Toyota. So here is my BBBBK for you all to enjoy and copy me if you want.
Just a little background, I'm an aerospace engineer who competed in Formula SAE while in college. I've owned $hitty 80's Toyotas since I was 17 and I still haven't learned.
I might make a kit available if there is an interest.
I have a blog that I post the updates too, so through the process I will just put links to it and make this thread open to discussion and criticism.
And for a taste, I will be using 04 Subie Sti front rotors (which has been discussed here) 03 LS430 4 pot front calipers and for the Rear 06 Legacy vented rotors (Same size Parking brake drum!!) and 03 LS430 2 pot calipers. All this stuff is brand new that I am buying from my local auto parts store, so if you hit the local scrap yard, you might get the stuff cheaper but for rotors and calipers I'm only at $480 for new rotors and rebuilt calipers!
