    Default AE82, AE92 and AE101 Brake Upgrade Guide

    The following is a guide that has been on the www.twincam.org forums for some time now, but it's something that answers nearly every question you could ever have about upgrading the brakes in your AE82, AE92 and possibly AE101.
    All of the information below is from Shano2's experiences mixed with mine, Singlecam's and a couple of others who have played with the brake options on these FWD corollas.

    Enjoy!



    Shano2's FWD Corolla Brake Upgrade Guide.

    Firstly NOTE the following information is for Australian models and MAY vary for US, UK and other markets. I suspect Toyota being Toyota they used the same parts worldwide but take this into account anyway and measure before you buy or fit so you don't waste time and money.

    Secondly Toyota have made it a common practice over the years to produce many interchangable parts and brakes are no exception.

    AE82

    Originally this topic was solely aimed at the AE92 as that is the model I have worked on most. Recently though I have done some work on an AE82 (singlecam's 4AGZE AE82) brake system and it's time for an update to reflect this.

    AE82 REAR

    See the proceedure below for the replacement of AE92 drums with AE92 discs. It is almost exactly the same for the AE82 EXCEPT where the AE92 demands that you replace the rear most suspension arm with the arm from disc-braked donor car the AE82 does not. All you need is the discs, calipers, hubs, uprights, handbrake cables and flexible brake lines.

    AE82 FRONT

    Exactly the same as that for AE92 below. I have now completed swapping the Superstrut twin piston calipers onto an AE82 and I can confirm that all the measurements are the same. Discs should be machined down to 262-263mm in diameter.

    AE92

    WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT

    The AE92 series Corolla's came out with a couple of different brake setups depending on the year of manufacture of the car.

    1.) Ex factory the early series AE92 series Corolla's (up to 6/91 in Australia) had either :

    a.) 243mm * 13.5mm thick solid discs at the front with drums in the rear (Basically all models from the base (CS) to the higher spec (CS-X) Hatch and Seca in Australia EXCEPT for the SX as below and the "Ultima" Seca which had the solid front discs (but may also have had rear discs) OR

    b.) 238mm dia * 18mm thick vented front discs with 242mm dia * 9mm thick solid rear discs. (SX hatch and Seca in Australia also refered to as the FX and other model codes in US and other countries)


    2.) Ex factory the late series AE92 series Corolla's (From 6/91 on in Australia) had either :

    a.) 243mm * 13.5mm thick solid discs at the front with drums in the rear (Basically all models from the base (CS) to the higher spec (CS-X) Hatch and Seca in Australia EXCEPT for the SX as below and the "Ultima" Seca which had the solid front discs but may also have had rear discs) OR

    b.) 258mm dia * 22mm thick vented front discs with 242mm dia * 9mm thick solid rear discs. (GTi hatch and SX Seca in Australia also refered to as the FX and other model codes in US and other countries)

    THE most important measurement to take is the centre hole of the disc. ALL AE92 models had a 54mm centre hole!!!

    WHAT YOU CAN FIT

    So for those who want to do a brake upgrade on the AE92 series Corolla's you have the following options :

    AE92 REAR

    1.) If you have drums you can bolt on the standard AE92 rear discs, which are the same as the (Jap-spec) AE92 levin GTZ rear discs.

    To do this conversion you will need to source the follwoing parts -

    - Both rear discs
    - Both rear calipers
    - Both rear hubs / uprights
    - Both rear flexible brake lines
    - Both sides of the handbrake cable
    - Most importantly it is very important when buying the parts for this conversion (assuming it's off a wrecked SX Corolla) you will need to get the two rear most suspension arms from the wreck as the suspension bushes are different. If you cannot get these arms for whatever reason bushes can be made up to enable the hubs from the SX to be fitted to the suspension arms of the non-SX. Steve Williamson or Jason Purcell can guide you as to where to go to get this done as they have both done it themselves in Brisbane.

    NOTE however that by going from drums to discs at the back you may affect brake bias and may need to have the "crack point" of your bias valve altered (by a professional) by changing it's internal springs to suit the discs. Adjustable bias valves are illegal on the roads (at least they are in Australia).

    2.) If you already have rear discs but they're not enough you have only two options :

    a.) The AE101 has 266mm dia * 9mm thick solid rear discs BUT the centre hole of these discs is 55mm rather than the AE92's 54mm. 1mm might not sound like much but once you fit it and you have a massive vibration you'll soon realise it is. This means they'll flop around like a c0ck in a bucket as it's the centre hole that centre's the disc on the hub.

    I have now completed this conversion and found it has made a noticable difference to how well the car pulls up. I have felt for some time that the AE92 needs a little more rear bias and in my opinion it seems that Toyota went about fitting bigger rear brakes to the AE101 to achieve this rather than going about it the proper/traditional way and adjusting the bias valve in the master cylinder. It's cheating but it works.

    From here you have two methods (I did the first/easiest one):

    I.) Fit the AE101 hub in place of the AE92 hub. The is a very simple bolt on job.

    - Remove the AE92 calipers and discs.
    - Remove bearing carrier
    - Remove disc dust shield
    - Fit AE101 dust shield in place of AE92 item (fits straight on)
    - Fit AE101 bearing carrier in place on AE92 item (bolts straight on)
    - Fit AE101 disc and caliper (NOTE the AE92 hand brake cables need to be retained and will work perfectly with the AE101 calipers)

    NOTES RE STEP 2 ABOVE : The "bearing carrier" is the part that unblots from the "upright" (the big lump of cast metal that the control arms, strut and bearing carrier bolt to) by sticking a 14mm socket through the hole in the "hub" (the round part holding the four wheel studs that the disc and then wheel go over the top of) and undoing the four bolts holding it in place. It has the same mounting bolt pattern as the AE92 so the AE101 bearing carrier will bolt straight on in place of the AE92 bearing carrier.

    The reason you NEED this bit is that it gives you the 55mm centre hole needed for the AE101 discs. It also gives you the added benefit of a slight increase in track.

    These parts should be the same as the Aussie delivered AE101's so you can either buy from a wrecker who has a rear disc Aussie AE101 or buy a complete strut assembly from the time wasting, scumbag, rip off merchants at Just Jap in Kirrawee. Last time I asked they wanted $125 a side for a complete strut, upright and brakes from a Jap AE101.

    I picked mine up from a private sale for $100 for both sides and then sold off the AE101 rear struts for $50. These struts are the same as the AE92 rear SX struts which are the bigger type needed to fit Koni inserts. The short version = they're saleable.

    Bleed the brakes and your rear upgrade is finished, simple as that.

    The only other consideration in doing this conversion is that you may find the AE101 rear discs may have ABS. If it does you will find an ABS "tone wheel" on the back of the bearing carrier when you remove it. This will not allow the AE101 hub to bolt up to the AE92 upright. You can remove this by putting the hub in a vice and removing the ABS tone wheel (it may break off before it comes undone - that's ok as it's useless to you anyway) OR you could drill a 10mm hole through the centre of the tone wheel and it will fall off.

    If you insist on being difficult then you can always do it the hard way and -

    II.) It should be possible to get the centre hole machined to be larger still and then machine up a ring which is 54mm inside dia and has a matching outside dia to what you've machined your discs out to. Example - If you machine the centre hole of the AE101 disc out to say 64mm and make your ring 64mm OD and 54mm ID the ring will slot in between the hub and the centre hole of the disc to centre the disc. NOTE To do this properly the ring should be a interferance fit with the disc so there is no play and also the ring should have a taper machined into the back of it (where it sits against the hub face) as the disc does, to centre it properly.

    b.) Custom made, which = $$$$$$

    AE92 FRONT

    1.) If you have Solid front discs then you have three options :

    a.) You can simply bolt on either early series AE92 (SX) 238mm dia * 18mm thick vented discs and calipers OR

    b.) You can simply bolt on late series AE92 (SX Seca / GTi) 258mm dia * 22mm thick vented discs and calipers. OR

    NOTE : These discs share the (all important) same centre hole and disc offset. All of the AE92 (and also the later AE101 and AE111) hubs share the same caliper mounting holes, so the calipers will bolt on.

    c.) You can fit the superstrut brakes (Procedure explained below).

    NOTE : both b and c above will require slight modification to the backing plate for clearance

    2.) If you already have early series AE92 SX front brakes (238mm dia * 18mm thick vented discs). You have two options :

    a.) You can simply bolt on late series AE92 (SX Seca / GTi) 258mm dia * 22mm thick vented discs and calipers. OR

    NOTE : These discs share the (all important) same centre hole and disc offset. All of the AE92 (and also the later AE101 and AE111) hubs share the same caliper mounting holes, so the calipers should bolt on.

    b.) You can fit the superstrut brakes (Procedure explained below).

    NOTE : both a and b above will require slight modification to the backing plate for clearance

    3.) If you already have late series AE92 SX front brakes (258mm dia * 22mm thick vented discs). You have only one option :

    a.) You can fit the superstrut brakes (Procedure explained below).

    You'll need at least 14 inch Rims to fit over the late series AE92 SX brakes but 13 inch rims will fit over the early series AE92 SX brakes.

    SUPERSTRUT BRAKES



    The Superstrut brakes as available on the AE101 Levin's etc as an option in Japan have 275mm dia * 25mm thick vented discs and twin piston calipers. Fortunately they also sport the same 54mm centre hole and disc offset as the AE92 series Corolla brakes which allows them to be fitted easily to this model Corolla. The swept volume of the twin pistons is the same as the, larger, single piston in the other brake options mentioned above so these do not affect brake bias and being a twin piston design, while not as good as a proper "opposed" piston (2 pot or 4 pot) they give much better "feel" and less pedal effort. The advantages of these brakes is the thicker disc, twin piston caliper and that the caliper is mounted radially further out (can apply marginally greater braking torque).

    To fit them to the AE92 series Corolla's you do have to do a few modifications though (It's worth the effort though ). You should do the modifications in this order :

    1.) You will find that the caliper won't actually bolt straight onto the AE92 hub as the middle of the caliper hits the centre of the hub. You need to relieve a small amount of material from the caliper for clearance then the caliper will bolt straight up as the mounting bolt pattern is exactly the same. This is easy to do with a simple angle grinder and doesn't weaken the caliper at all. If you do a dummy fit of the caliper onto the hub (without the disc) you'll see exactly where the material needs to be removed anyway. There is a "ridge" in the material at the point where removal is required, grind down to this point and you'll have plenty of clearance. With this done the caliper should now be able to mount up to the hub without hitting anything. See pic below........on to step 2






    2.) You will need to find someone who can machine the disc down in DIAMETER not just the normal surface machining method. The reason for this is that the mounting point for the caliper on the AE92 hub is further in than the AE101 hub so you'll find that the inside of the caliper will foul the outer edge of the disc if you try to fit it without reducing the diameter of the disc first. In fact the caliper won't even reach it's mounting points with the disc un-machined. The most effective way to do this is to supply the brake machinist a hub, a caliper and both discs so he can machine the disc to suit the specific brakes you have. The Superstrut brakes fitted to my car were machined down to 259mm diameter but the pads sit right at the edge of the disc and given there is still plenty of clearance between the outer edge of the disc and the inner edge of the caliper I would only machine them down to 262mm if I were to do this again..

    3.) Bit's and pieces :
    - Pads for the Superstrut brakes are the same as SW20 MR2 so parts aren't a problem.
    - The AE92 flexible brake lines will bolt up to the twin piston calipers.
    - The minimum I've tried these brakes under is a 14inch wheel and they don't quite fit. You'd need either aftermarket 14's or a ~5mm or so spacer to make them fit under a 14 inch rim. They will definitely fit under 15's.
    - Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) has a disc which is basically the same as the Superstrut disc save for 3mm extra diameter (but you need to machine them down anyway).
    The part number for these discs is DBA743 and they are off the ST185 Celica. This makes them a five stud bolt pattern but this can easily be re-drilled. In fact if you order at the right time and through the right people you can get "blank" discs which are not yet drilled for stud pattern.

    ***PIC COMING SOON***

    COMPARISON OF BRAKE THICKNESS OF ALL THREE DISCS

    ***PIC COMING SOON***

    Other Options

    There are two other options, both of which I've done, and both of which I don't like and wouldn't do again :

    1.) The "normal" (non-Superstrut) AE101 brakes use a 255mm dia * 22mm thick disc and use the same single piston caliper as both of the AE92 series SX brakes. The problem with these is they use a 55mm centre hole so they don't go straight onto the AE92 hubs (54mm centre hole). You can either :

    a.) Do the same as mentioned above for rear brakes by swapping the AE101 bearing and hub into the AE92 upright. AE92, AE101 and AE111 all share the same front wheel bearing. AE82 wheel bearings are a different part number but without having tried to interchange them I wouldn't be prepared to say that later bearings WON'T fit OR

    b.) Fit the AE101 hub / upright as well. To do this you'll need a tapered reaming tool (and costs about $90) with just the right taper for the AE92 ball joint as the AE101 ball joint is smaller in diameter along the length of the taper. You need to ream out the hole at the bottom of the AE101 hub to fit the AE92 ball joint into it. Then the AE101 hub will bolt on and allow easier fitment of the AE101's normal brakes. The AE92 tie rod ends will bolt straight up to the AE101 upright.

    Personally I think there's to much effort to get these brakes to work when the series 2 AE92 SX brakes will bolt straight on with no modification at all, the problem is finding a set.
    Also the pad in these brakes tends to sit right on the outer edge of the disc which I don't like.

    2.) The very first set of Superstrut's I did for a mate had stuffed discs so we found a Mitsubishi Magna disc (DBA425) which had similar thickness, diameter, offset etc but the centre hole was too big so we had a couple of rings machined up similar to the fitment of REAR AE101 brakes above and followed the rest of the modifications for the fitment of the Superstrut brakes.
    I wouldn't do this again, as was mentioned below I have since found that DBA743 can be used as a replacement disc for the factory Superstrut disc in this conversion and should be a hell of a lot cheaper than new ones from Toyota as they are $621 odd EACH!!!


    Having done a bit of searching around for some Superstrut brakes recently I went to Toyota VIN number in hand (thanks to Anthony Kellam) to get some prices from them. You never quite know with genuine Toyota parts some can be surprisingly cheap and others a complete rip off.

    The good news is Toyota can get brand new Superstrut discs and calipers here in Australia.

    The bad news is you need to be an oil Baron to afford them -

    Discs = $621.50 inc GetStuffedTax EACH!!!!!!!!! for a phucking brake disc???
    Calipers = $309.10 inc GetStuffedTax EACH!!!!!!!!! which is slightly more reasonable but expensive none the less.

    That's $1800 odd dollars and you still have to macine them down and get pads....JESUS CHRIST!!!!. $2K would be getting pretty close to the cost of custom discs and four pot calipers.

    Oh well the second hand market is alive and well

    ......rant over.

    Finally a quick note on the use of EBC brakes pads with DBA discs.......

    No I am not about to slag either off as I have used this combination and had good results. HOWEVER I have had it recommended to me by a reputable brake expert (yes a genuine one who spends some of his time addressing group tours of a brake factory to help them learn more about brakes and the rest operating his brake workshop which "specialises" in brake upgrades) that when fitting NEW EBC pads and NEW DBA discs that it is best to fit the discs initially with your old pads and let the old pads bed the new discs in before fitting the new discs. Which may well be good practice even using other products anyway.

    WITZL NOTES: EBC Greenstuff pads now come with a "bedding material" which is designed to bed the disc in before the pads, removing the need to bed a new disc with old pads. This stuff is pretty squeely and will last around 500-1000kms.

    Whilst I've been recently playing with corollas again... i've dug around and found out as much information about the disc and pads as possible.

    AE92 Series 1 SX Front Brakes
    Disc rotor = DBA704
    Brake Pad = DB1103

    AE93 Series 2 SX/GTi Front Brakes
    Disc Rotor = DBA708
    Brake pad = DB308

    AE101 Superstrut twin piston
    Disc rotor = DBA743 - requires machining and re-drilling to suit corolla, see above
    Brake Pad = DB1352
    Capiler Rebuild Kit = PN# 210E0036 (Protex brand) ***TBC

    Long-time thread bump here, but I'm currently in the early stages of doing a AE101 GTZ twinpot conversion on my AE102, and am aiming to keep the original 275mm disc diameter without machining or re-drilling. A chunk of research has lead me to believe that if you use the pad-carrier from an SSII Celica (the option w/ 275mm disc but w/out Superstrut) then everything lines up almost perfectly, maybe a tiny bit of grinding here and there to get things to sit nice and neat. Only downside is that the pad carrier is designed for a 27mm thick disc rather than 25mm, so you're losing 1mm of pad wear each side before the pads fall out of the clips, but a bit of due diligence and preventative maintenance means this shouldn't be an issue.


    Will update with pictures when Cuts sends me the pad carriers and I do a dummy fit over Christmas

    Had a go at trial-fitting the ST204 pad carrier brackets today in conjunction with the twinpot calipers, unfortunately I've got the 54mm SS AE101 discs rather than the 55mm SS AE111 discs so I couldn't quite get everything to sit snug, looks like I'll either need to machine the pad carrier a couple of mm on the mounting face or get a spacer for the rotor (which I'd prefer not to do as aftermarket rotors are all 55mm).


    Toyota part numbers for the caliper piston and seal kit, grand total of $130 +p/h through Amayama - probably cheaper than getting aftermarket stuff locally.


    Showing the 54-to-55mm step on the AE102 hub - disc needs to be 55mm, wheels need to be 54mm.


    ST204 caliper bracket on the stock 255mm disc, the rotor just skims the inner face but there's too much room on the other side, wouldn't want a pad falling out...


    How the 275mm disc sits inside the carrier - since the rotor doesn't want to sit all the way in on the hub (due to the step) it actually lines up almost perfectly in the carrier, however the rotor can rock around a bit and would be dangerous to attach a wheel in this configuration


    No need to trim the factory heat shield, fits perfect



    SS pads fit snug in the ST204 carrier and line up millimetre-perfect with the edge of the disc


    No machining of the pad carrer where it bolts to the hub either (unlike the SS carrier) - perfect fit

    How it looks all assembled - if it wasn't for the mis-matched paint you'd swear it was a factory fitment


    Diameter comparison of the AE102 to SS AE101 discs


    Clearance to a ZZE122 15" steel rim is pretty tight but works. *Back side of the caliper was fine, but the clearance between the face of the rim and the front of the caliper is as about as tight as I'd be comfortable with



    And just for laughs I fitted the ST204 pad carrier and an SS pad to the stock AE102 disc.....yeah, these brakes are going to be heaps better

    Have now aquired 55mm centre-bore AE111 SS rotors so will be doing a test-fit again to see exactly how much will need to be skimmed off the pad carriers to centre the rotor. Hopefully it won't be much.

    Found someone else on FB who had gone down a similar path (but kept the Celica single-piston caliper), looks like 2mm should be just about perfect to re-centre everything whilst still leaving enough meat on the pad carrier

    And the end result is finally in


    Calipers and carriers vapour-blasted ready for overhaul (second set for @theguitarhero4)


    Primed


    Top-coated (I went matte-black, Andrew went silver)


    New pistons, seals, dust boots and clip-rings


    And new slide pins, boots, bolts and banjos


    Interestingly when I got my wheel bearings replaced back in 2017 the new hubs came without the 55mm step in them.....so the AE111 rotors I sourced would no longer fit properly (also meant that the new rotors I got when trying to diagnose the wheel bearings have been flopping around with a mil diameter clearance for 2 and a half years, well that explains the brake shudder...). Good thing I still had the 54.1mm AE101 rotors as a backup


    Rotor now centred well in the pad carrier, if I wanted to use the more commonly available DBA759 Sportivo rotor I'd probably have to get another 2mm machined off the carrier and that would be a little too much for my liking


    Make sure to use the SuperStrut pad not the ST204 Celica pad (Celica pads are thicker and the caliper won't fit over them), I used DP3995C EBC Redstuffs but any pad for the later SW20 MR2s will fit (same pad as the SuperStrut Corolla)


    Caliper fitted


    And new braided lines just for bling

    Caliper clearance to the rim of the AE111 TOMs wheels is fine (better than the ZZE123 steelies I tried the first time around) but spoke clearance is tight, can be measured in sheets of paper.
