You will also need the rear half of the driveshaft from the same car. The housing for the disc brake rear is a bit larger (6.8" crown/ring gear instead of 6.3") so the driveshaft from the AE86 with disc brakes is also needed. Finally, the emergency brake cables are different... but can be made to work.....

Or buy the brackets and rotors from www.peterdmotorsports.com
My brother made his own out of the 200sx rotors.

You can fit the ae86 rear with disc brake under the A te72 but will need a rim with an inch more on the back spacing cause it's a bit wider than the drum brake one,it happened to me I had to send the baby supras to get cut on the back , but with e weld drag lites no prob. Cause they are 4.5" rear spacing
