    Re: rear discs ?

    You need the following:
    Rear hub assembly or the whole trailing arm.
    E-brake cables.
    Proportioning valve.
    Master Cylinder unless you have an LX-i one already.
    Front calipers unless you already have an LX-i.

    Recommend:
    New brake lines.
    New pads and rotors.
    Fluid flush.

    well the 3g is 86 to 89 but i know there was at least one year that did not have an sei

    you can normally tell an sei by badge or the gold tinted windows or the bose stereo and an armrest

    It was a "Special Edition," last model year, please-don't-go-buy-the-redesigned-Camry sweetener. They're rare and getting more so. Someone was selling a set of the rear discs in the Trading Post earlier this month. Not sure if they're still there.

    Re: rear discs ?

    Damn, I didn't even realize you were in CT until Steve just said something.

    If you need any help with the rear disc swap, don't hesitate to ask.

    As mentioned already, the SE-i was an '89 only, and only came in sedan or coupe, no hatch. All SE-i's had factory leather interior, and a cupholder insert in place of the cassette holder in the center console.

    If I were you, just concentrate on getting the knuckles, caliper brackets, e-brake lines, and prop.valve. I would purchase reman'd calipers from AutoZone or some other parts store, and get bfg (or some other brand) stainless brake lines, along with a new set of rear rotors and pads. The hubs are the same, so if yours are good, and the donors are crap, you can swap them easily. Although it's much more expensive to get the new calipers, and lines, it's much safer.

    Good luck, and check out the Let's Meet section to get in on a local meet for this year.
