These look really nice. They were packaged really well and the hardware is labeled nicely. Even includes a couple of tubes of blue locktite, which is also a very nice touch. Still waiting on the rear service kits from Marlin Crawler, otherwise I'm ready to install.

Thankfully it's all wrapped in bubble wrap, because mine arrived looking like Ace Ventura delivered it.

Glad you're happy with them. One of the hard lines looks like it was bent in shipping. This section should be straight.

Instructions are in progress. Trying to get them done ASAP. I'll post links to them on the main post when complete and put an update here.

anyone install this kit, and can give feedback on the performance? kit looks well made, and i am familiar with the cobra calipers having a 5.0 at one time and doing a conversion on my rear.

there are a bunch of member who have used the same calipers with custom made brackets. This is a T4R.ORG love child kit for sure. So not this kit exactly but almost exactly the same.

I can attest that this setup works well, the rear ABS seems to function exactly the same as the drums. If you ABS was working before you install it will work just fine after. the calipers are a good match for 3rd gens.

The only real difference is the amount of pressure needed to lockup the rear tires with the e-brake. with this kit your not going to be able to do that no more. nobody has solved that pickle yet.

I'm sure as others go thru the install they will share insights.

Pretty sure with the new bracket he made it will put enough pressure to lock them up.

But it’s not a drift car; locking them up could have serious consequences. Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit

I shot this vid back in April, it's posted someplace back up in the thread. Yes you can lock up the rear with OEM drums. it's not a huge deal but with discs in the rear the extra force required to put enough pressure to stop the truck is reduced. Again not a deal breaker it's just good to know all the details when doing mods like this.



note: were you the one who did the rear cantilever setup?

I wouldn’t count on it.
I’ve only had a chance to test my prototype, which was a crude model of the production junction bracket, but it didn’t lock up the tires while moving. The production version is much more refined and will work more smoothly, but overall it provides the same force.
What it does is exert more force on the caliper with less force required at the handle, making it easier to get adequate holding pressure. But I don’t think the Mustang calipers are designed to lock up the wheels. Especially when you get into much larger wheels, which increase the lever arm.


Let’s not forget about another key aspect, brake pads. If you have junk brake pads you’ll get junk output.
I used EBC Greenstuff with good results, but switched them to try a pad with less brake dust.
The pad I chose was the Hawk HPS. They were junk in my opinion. Horrible cold stopping power, which is what the parking brake will be, and they required too much pedal force. Noticeably more than the EBC pads. My wife though she was going to run into the garage door the first time she moved the car in the driveway.
When I get the 4Runner back together it will be running EBC Yellowstuff to see how they work.
