if it is such a problem for you then just get the rear wheel brakes disengaged

What is it and how to do it?

Car skids due to no traction at rear wheels while braking that is why I was suggesting disengagement of rear disk brakes. but when I installed 205/70/14 Good Year tyres in my 2002 SE Saloon manual the traction got better than 185/65/14 Dunlops.

is it a sarcastic comment or you really mean it ?? make me understand please.

do u know the breaking force division in a vehicle ? it is divided 60 front / 40 rear disconnecting rear means suicidal intention.

there are plenty of reasons for rear brake malfunction few i know of out of experience are below.

1. Rusted break line due to poor quality break fluid.
2. Worn out tyres
3. Bad quality of disc pads / shoes
4. Rear suspension not in OEM specs
5. Rear wheel alignment (in some cars it is needed)

Disc are preferred over drums not vice versa.

I changed the rear springs of my 2.0D Saloon recently, and have observed better braking and traction. The brakes and shocks are completely stock. Running on 185/70/14.

Can post before and after pictures, if you want me to.

My 2.0D Saloon's springs are the same that came in it from company in 2004 when I purchased this car brand new from Indus through Toyota Frontier and I have never added any spacers etc so my car's brakes and shocks and springs are also stock.I just changed shocks in routine maintenance in last 8 years.Am running on 195/70 R14 Yokohama A drive.And did you get springs from Shoba?

And yes please post the pictures.

You are right but

1.The pressure in the lines is fine when the lines are bled.Brake fluid used is Toyota's DOT 3.
2.Tyres are just 24000km old and in very good condition.Yokohama A drive 195/70 R14.
3.Always use Toyota Genuine Brake pads both front and rear ones.
4.I have not altered rear suspension and its in OEM specs.
5.Rear wheel alignment done from Wheels and Wheels in Rawalpindi.Dont exactly know whether 2.0D Saloon 2004 requires it or not.

And discs are preferred over drums but I think its only the Pakistan's unfortunate Corolla that has 4 wheel disc brakes without ABS.I think the old Corolla's setup with front discs and rear drums was fine for this model as well.I am tolerating the brakes for last 8 years and somehow managed this problem but I am sure if one has to press the brakes with full force even at around 70kmph the car will be out of control.

And can Ceramic brake pads be a choice instead of using Toyota's semi metallic brake pads for at least some improvement?I dont expect much from Indus Corollas thats why I am saying some improvement.The worst quality Toyota vehicles are definitely produced by none but Indus.
