96 t 1oo brake parts?

Saw this and wondered if these front brakes would be a viable upgrade for my first gen. v6 and auto

1996 Toyota T-100

I upgraded the front brakes on my 1986 4Runner using T100 calipers, rotors and pads, also went with a big bore master cylinder, made a nice difference.

You WILL have to trim the dust shields however.

Will the largest bore master cylinder bolt right up. There is a 1 5/8 bore 1 ton MC on RockAuto.

The 1" bore MC will bolt up, as will the t100 dual diaphram brake booster. Not sure about the 1 5/8".

I think V6 4runners already have dual diaphram boosters (not positive), I know 4 cyl are single diaphram.

Are the T100 calipers any bigger than the "V6" calipers the OP already has?

I do believe they are as another fellow that swapped his brakes to the T100 setup was in a V6.

I read something about shimming the t100 calipers on the SA mounting ears to align with the rotors.

Thanks. Pull a part in Atlanta has a 95 t100. Think its worth 16.95 plus 3 dollars core is worth it at the yard vs 50 for a new one or less from RA. Also any ideas on thickness of the rotors to see if they are usable and have life left in them to turn on the t100. I would rather have turnable oem rotors than Chinese RA rotors.Will 2wd front rotors fit or must they be 4wd?
Kid mine is a 22e
My brakes are very spongy and mashing hard is the norm...scary. Iadmit this rig saw over a year and I have not bled or done anything to it. PO said he had done brakes recently. Just from my reading the time would be better spent on upgrades.
