I’ve been running his kit for about 30k miles and over 2 years, I can say this kit is awesome. Never had an issue with brake balancing or any of that, but I’m also not trying to drift a 3rd gen. My E-Brake still works and is tight, all the hardware still looks like the day I installed it.

WOW. Just read through the entire conversion post... thank you for your hard work and dedication to that process, happy that you took time out and made it possible long before I became a 4WD guy and moreso the owner of a JDM runner, definitely will consider this setup in the future, thanks all for the contributions made that are helping and inspiring to new members of the group and 4Runner/Hilux Surf Community.
Thanks from Guyana.

No longer being made so I doubt you'll be able to get it in the future.

Thank you for your service to the seas and the brakes. My question is - if you ever see this - are there any old oddball JDM Toyotas on the roads there or have they been Inspected out of existence?
They're all over the place out here. Hard to find nice ones though. Same frame rust issues, or they have a crazy thick undercoating. And a lot of repainted bodies. It's neat to see the different JDM options though.
Thank you very much for your service to our country!
It's amazing to read the level of effort you put in to designing and producing this conversion kit. It certainly was a labor of love.
I would be interested in hearing if some production will resume when you're back from your deployment. That will give me time to research the availability of the Mustang Cobra calipers.
Take care,

Anyone ever think of selling the kit if the 4Runner ever goes out of service?

That looks like a sweet kit and and awesome option to do a disc conversion on our trucks. Awesome that a larger company like LCE is making that. Only deal breaker is that it disables the parking brake. Having the parking brake is essential for me. Without it your really going to be stressing the parking pawl every time you park it and especially if your on uneven ground too. I pull the parking break and then throw it in P to keep the stress off mine. I can't be the only one that noitces when you park with any car without the brake it rocks back and forth quite a bit before coming to a stop. That can't be good for the pawl....

And in my state the ebrake has to work to pass inspection.

Which is why I'm switching over to the lc80 calipers and wilwood mc4 parking brake caliper. The mustang calipers just are not working for me (between calipers leaking and poor parking brake performance). Everything midcoma made is awesome! Top quality stuff. But it just doesn't work for me so I am working on this now. Don't know if I'll have them reproduced though.
So I might have midcoma's caliper brackets up for sale in a while.

I've got a used kit with less than 1,000 miles available.
Hardlines, rotors, calipers, pads, e-brake, everything.
Kit was awesome but parted out my 4Runner so no longer need.
Would prefer to keep it local, would consider shipping at buyer's expense if I can't find anything local.

If you do decide to reproduce the final product, I'd be interested.

Hi, no idea if this would work, but have you ever thought of just using sendcutsend or equivalent to get the metal parts drop shipped and then just providing a list of bits people need to procure for themselves for the rest? Might be a way to supply "kits" at minimal effort and still protect your IP. I ask because it irritates me that this is the ONLY option that keeps the parking brake and its NLA.
Thanks,
Tara
