Rear disc brakes

While searching around a few months back I found some info on doing a rear disc conversion on a 90-95 4Runner. The site had green brackets for sale and they used chevy rotors(I think) that they got for around $40 at the local parts store. Does anyone have info on this , I can't find the site again. I thought it was 4X4 Wire but don't see anything on their site.

Thank You
Bill

A few have done the install on the board like Waskilly (should be pretty informative):

Does that still maintain the ABS?

Yes, the brake conversion has no effect on ABS whatsoever.

No effect? How does the system detect a lockup on a completely non-OEM ABS brake setup?

With the wheel speed sensor, just as it does with the OEM brake setup.
You do need to adjust the calipers with a porportioning valve or they will not work properly.
