[Dan]

I've heard alot about the four piston caliper swap from a Toyota 4x4 truck. What year can the sawp be made from?. Thanks

check out the thread on Need front end advice. There's a some discussion about this topic and a website for general info and specifics to this question.

Go to the IZCC site (www.zhome.com) and scroll down on the left to the "Index of Technical Articles" - it's almost at the bottom of the page. You will find info on the Toyota 4WD caliper swap under the "Suspension/Brakes/....." heading, including info on the years for trucks and 4-Runners.

The Washington Z car club site (www.zccw.com) also has some info under their BRAKES heading. Their site says '86-'88, but there are other years, as noted in the IZCC site.

Some folks go "whole hog" and buy vented rotors to go with their upgrade. IMHO they are NOT needed for street driving. Unless you are into racing or spend a lot of time in heavy braking situations, your money would be better spent on other suspension items, (e.g., polyethelene bushings, replacing those tired 30-year old springs, strut inserts).
