Craft diffs in grandville do the brackets for a disc rear im just waiting on mine, it uses r31 skyline calipers and rotors i got mine off a mate for 50 bucks. wreckers wanted $150, u need to redrill the rotors to 6 stud and skim a little bit off the axle flange so it fits inside the hat of the Rotor. im also using earlie 80 series rotors up front with the kzn130 (rv6) surf/ 4runner calipers $90 from the wreckers. they are alot larger than my std setup on a ln60 4runner. il let u know how it stops when its all in. also disc rear requires 80 series or the like master cylinder/ booster

cheers

kzn130 (rv6) surf/ 4runner calipers are actually bigger than 60 series calipers, bigger as in piston size.

If you fit these you need to grab a master off an early pov pack 80 series (with drum rear) to match the calipers.

If you fit rear discs aswell grab the disc rear master for an 80.

Lots of good tech here:

Go for an 80 series master, a prado booster, the V6 4runner calipers on the front, and then a multitude of rear calipers as per the thread above.

If you wanted to run a transfer case handbrake from sky industries, chaos, superior etc your choices for rear calipers would be limitless.
Cheers,
Dan.
