    Most of the 2018 models have standard rear wheel disc brakes. Would it be feasible to buy the rear wheel discs and calipers from Toyota casa and do a simple swap for rear drum models?

    Thank you.

    I've seen conversion kits from Thailand.

    It's possible but I guess not from the dealership.

    Don't fix what's not broken ... what's with the obsession to change the brakes? ...

    Exactly. For everyday driving, drum brakes on rear are perfectly fine. The stopping power comes almost always from the front wheels unless you're crawling uphill.

    I guess it is more of aesthetics. Also the rotor is prone to warp which could result to vibration although this could happen when always at high speed.

    Drum brakes = cheap, pang masa
    Disc brakes = expensive, sosyal
