Our precision laser-cut brackets ensure a perfect fit and accurate .003 tolerance, providing reliable and consistent performance.

Designed for:
To convert to rear disc brakes on a 79-95 Toyota, use calipers from a similar GM car such as the Monte Carlo or Cadillac Eldorado. These metric calipers are commonly used in disc brake conversions and can be found aftermarket from companies like Wilwood Brakes. Please note that Sky's does not provide parts or calipers for e-brake systems, which are known for frequent failures and difficult adjustments.
"Big Bore" Metric Calipers will not work with this kit.
Axles: Brackets will fit standard pattern Toyota axles, 1979-2004, some 2005-2006 axles, customer will need to double check their pattern with an older axle. Grinding of ABS ports may be needed if equipped. Standard pattern is a square 3.438 pattern or 88mm
Other Items You Will Need:
Loaded calipers
Additional Information:
Rotors: GM origin, machined to fit either a 79-85 hub centric of 3.6" or 86-95 4.2" hub centric. Will also fit early Tacoma with 4.2" hub centric. Rotors are 1" wide.
Kit will fit 15 inch wheels with 3.5 or less backspace.
Kit includes brackets, modified rotors, and steel braided brake lines.
Installation:
1. Place vehicle securely on lift or jack stands, remove rear tires.
2. Pull brake drums at this time, remove all factory drum brake components, next remove the backing plate bolts, remove axle.
3. At this point you can separate the backing plate from the bearing cup, and throw it away! The drum brake backing plate, not the bearing cup.
4. Reinstall axle and bearing cup in housing, install brackets as shown in picture using new hardware.
5. Install rotors, making sure they are clean. Install calipers, install lines, bleed brakes. Install tires, recheck brakes, and voila...you are done.
-There is a small knob on some calipers that will interfere with the bracket--grinding it is ok. See diagram.
-Note on installing kit on ABS equipped vehicle:
Put the left caliper on the right and the right on the left. This is due to the ABS and keeping the bleeder above the hose fitting.
