If you can, get the calipers with the four big pistons. I could have sworn mine had 2 pistons... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I'll have to look at that when I start all my final maintenance before shipping it to Europe.

I'm running V6 calipers on my '85 with rear disk w/ small calipers(grand prix) along with a V6 booster/ master cyl. the pedal feels about the same as it did with stock brakes. but the truck definatley stops much better and I running 35" tires.............Karl Re: Toyota Calipers #642669 09/01/05 11:26 PM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 456 NY dknight Mudrunner I rebuilt my calipers using the toyota kit. I did both sides for the cost of one reman caliper. Was pretty easy (once I got the stuck pistons out - tip I used a thin piece of wood in place of the brake pad, then let the power brakes bust the siezed pistons loose before I removed the calipers from the truck.)
