Hilux Widetrack kit question.

Post by ToNkA »

I have an 84 lux with solid disc rotors (non vented). Now I want to do the wide track converion to the front hubs. I heard somewhere that you need the vented rotors and calipers, but I aint that keen to swap them aswell. Can I use what I have?

Anyone know?

Never herd of that but usually its a good idea while your chasing the IFS hubs is to get the calipers aswell.

yes you can use what you have now and upgrade later if $$ are a problem, but as 4sum4 said if you can upgrade the lot, new rotors arn't very dear.

You can use what you have at the moment and keep it solid, but, you need to buy the IFS hub so but the IFS complete knuckle with the caliper if you can. Then the rotors are only $50ish new from Auto 1. (You cant use the IFS rotor - wrong offset).

Both IFS and non IFS hiliux (Vented rotor) use the same caliper. Only the V6 4runner uses a thicker rotor and wider caliper (as did the Surf but I swapped the front end with a 2001 hilux after a mishap).

Also I found that the caliper touched one side of the rotor after the conversion and Sam from Overkill had to machine one side of the caliper slightly to get it to spin free without touching.
