  8. Here are all the part #s and pics for this setup if you wish to purchase them new: There are a few things u definitely need for this conversion, the first being the twin pot Levin callipers themselves, you also need the Levin discs, available from Toyota and pads, the discs from the UK AE111 will not fit they're too narrow. You will also definitely need longer wheel studs (M12 1.5 x 63mm length). You will also need a set of small spacers that fit between the hub and disc to move the disc into the middle of the caliper. While doing the conversion I would also suggest using braided lines and 5.1 fluid. Levin Disc sizes: 275 x 25 Glanza Disc sizes: 255 x 18 To put that in perspective Here's the rest of the kit First things first take off your alloys and drain your brake fluid, now remove your exisitng callipers using a 14mm socket on the bolt for the brake line and to remove the calliper, and a 17mm socket on the fixing that links the calliper to the body. The disc will just slide off. Next step, you need longer wheel studs (M12 x 1.5, 63mm length). You will not be able to change these yourself as you need the hub removed and you need a pneumatic ram to do this. After theyr removed you will have 20mm extra length and it will look like this. As you can see i also test fitted and decided for a flush fit I will have to remove the guard behind the disc, as seen in this pic but not in the one above. While your studs are being changed at the garage take the time to clean up or paint your callipers, I chose satin black. You will also probably need to reset the pistons in the callipers, do this by removing the nipple at the back (as when bleeding) and compress with a G clamp. Here is the full kit finished. Im sure now you will be eager to fit the kit, but you must ensure first that you have the discs skimmed down to 260mm and I took the opportunity to have the discs grooved too. As you can see above I have also fitted the spacers in the back of the discs. Now you may begin lol. Start by fitting the discs (with 8mm spacers) to the hubs. Next fit the body of the calliper in the existing holes using a size 17mm socket, shown at top and bottom of picture, I found i needed a 2.25mm washer to go between the hub and the calliper body to push the disc further into the centre of the calliper. Next fit your brake pads, I am running these discs in with standard pads, although I have a set of Endless pads to add a later date. Ensure you fit the retainer clips on the top of the pads. Lastly fit the calliper piston housing over the top of the pads and fix to the body sing 14mm socket, replace the brake line (regular or braided) on the back using the same, dont forget the copper washer. Your work is done, bleed the system ensure there is no air in the pipes and enjoy being able to stop properly.
