i dunno... my starlet gt axle was shorter than my stock drum-brake axle... but i have a '95 tercel... maybe the '95+ axle is longer than the '91-'94...?
or possibly your axle came off a cynos-B, which came with rear discs on some models...?

Here's something for somebody to check, does the rotor have the wheel mount in the same location as the drum? It may be the rotors that create the narrower width.
-eureka-

that's exactly what i was thinking all winter. I wanted to measure before and after but I forgot. -irked-

Today I installed my stock 13" mags and was gonna drive it to work tomorrow but the battery was dead. double-irked-

BTW even my sister asked if I had shortened the axle cause it looked like the wheels were tucked more now with the rotors. I agree. They look like they are tucked farther in than with the drums.....

well here's an update. I've definately got that test drive in now. And I've put about 4,000 km on the brakes and they are only now starting to wear in -haha-

I make it a point to use the e-brake and pedal whenever I do a hard stop or when I'm just cruising and coming too close to the traffic infront of me I use the e-brake to slow down a bit.

All in all the braking is pretty good although most of the noticable difference came from the Paseo front brake upgrade.

I think it would be a good idea to upgrade to a Starlet GT perportioning valve to transfere a little more braking pressure to the rear.

:censored: US army mail server stripped any .zip attachments so I changed the file extenssion to .bmp. Once you get it. Change the extenssion to . zip again and you'll be able to open it and extract all the jpg image files.
