GT86 & BRZ & FR-S Dual-Caliper Weld-On Adapter — 290×18 mm

$
70.00
This YDC weld-on adapter kit is designed for first-generation Toyota GT86, Toyota 86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models equipped with OEM non-Brembo rear calipers and nominal 290×18 mm vented rear discs

The adapters provide mounting points for a second pair of OEM rear calipers, allowing the hydraulic handbrake to operate through a completely independent braking circuit

The original rear calipers remain connected to the factory service-brake circuit, while the additional calipers are connected exclusively to the hydraulic handbrake

The factory mechanical drum-type parking brake remains fully operational after installation

The ABS system also remains operational because the adapters do not replace or relocate the wheel hubs, wheel bearings, ABS sensors or tone rings

Four individual steel mounting tabs are welded to the rear knuckles using the supplied positioning jig

Two supplied 3 mm spacers establish the required mounting offset relative to the wheel-bearing mounting face during positioning

Main features

  • Dual-caliper rear configuration — provides mounting points for a second brake caliper on each side
  • Independent hydraulic handbrake circuit — separates the hydraulic handbrake from the main service-brake circuit
  • Factory mechanical parking brake retained — the original internal drum parking brake remains fully operational
  • ABS retained — the original wheel-speed sensors, tone rings and service-brake configuration remain unchanged
  • OEM non-Brembo caliper compatibility — designed for a second matching pair of factory rear calipers
  • 290×18 mm rear brake configuration — designed specifically for the OEM vented rear disc setup
  • Accurate jig-positioned installation — the supplied jig establishes the position of all four weld-on mounting tabs
  • Welding-ready steel construction — supplied ready for professional installation and corrosion protection after welding

Compatibility

  • Toyota GT86 ZN6
  • Toyota 86 ZN6
  • Scion FR-S ZN6
  • Subaru BRZ ZC6

OEM non-Brembo rear calipers

Nominal 290×18 mm vented rear brake discs

A used 290×18 mm brake disc may measure less than 18 mm because of normal wear, so compatibility must be determined by the original brake configuration and caliper type

Not compatible with

  • Factory Brembo rear calipers
  • 316×20 mm Brembo rear brake discs
  • 286×10 mm solid rear brake discs

Aftermarket calipers or rear knuckles unless compatibility has been confirmed before installation

Compatibility is determined by the chassis code, rear caliper type and nominal brake-disc specification, not only by the vehicle model name

Kit includes

  • Four weld-on caliper mounting tabs — two per side
  • One positioning and welding jig
  • Two 3 mm jig spacers for positioning the additional caliper mounting tabs relative to the wheel-bearing mounting face
  • Four new grade 10.9 flange bolts for mounting the additional calipers

Important installation information

This is a weld-on product that changes the vehicle’s rear braking configuration

The rear hub and wheel-bearing assemblies must be removed before positioning and welding the mounting tabs

The supplied jig must be installed against the wheel-bearing mounting face using the correct 3 mm spacers

All four mounting tabs must be fully positioned and test-fitted before final welding

Installation and welding must be carried out by a qualified specialist experienced with suspension components and braking systems

The wheel bearings, ABS sensors, sensor wiring and surrounding components must be protected from welding heat and current

After welding, check caliper alignment, disc centering, pad contact area, bolt engagement and clearance to all suspension and wheel components

All unprotected steel and welded areas must receive suitable corrosion protection after installation

The complete braking system must be properly connected, bled, inspected and tested before the vehicle is operated
