Guest zfan Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Ok I just completed the front brake upgrade to toyota 4 runners. Now onto the back stock brakes, by the way it is a 71 240. I am going to freshen up drums in back. Resurface drums and replace hardware. Question is is there any certain shoe I should go with, or just use generics? Ive heard upgrading to certain shoes helps, just do not remember what ones? Anyone have experience with this. Is it really worth it to go discs in rear? And if so what swap is cheapest and most simple as Im no brake expert!!! Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNeckZ Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 If you go with the drum brakes. You can go with Semi-metallic shoes for it and it should work fine. I went with the disc brake conversion. I love it to date and wouldn't give it up for anything. I race it a lot, it is a 71 240Z and has both the 300zx disc brakes up front and 280zx disc brakes on the rear. If you need a design for the mounting bracket. Just drop me your address and I will send it to you. Also go with the bigger break master clyinder 15/16" for it. Don't forget to take out the brake bias system in the axle area or the of the rearend. You may have to add a adjustable break bias system in it if you don't like them. Good luck, Rich.
