Finished drum to LS1 rear discs conversion
Finally did my rear drum to LS1 disc conversion. Here's some pics for those curious. Just a sawzall and a drill, couldn't have been much simplier to install. Have 1LE brakes up front so I used the 1LE prop valve and Valvoline Synpower fluid. Front and rear both using Hawk HPS pads. During testing, the rears will lock up first on dry pavement, so I'm going to try a more aggressive front pad. First though I'm going to try my Random Tech torque arm so see if that has any affect on the rears.

LS1 rear brakes are more often leading due to the e-brake cable routing.
