Need Brake Help... C6 Brakes?

Ok so I’m getting rotors and calipers from my friend’s 2005 C6 corvette(not z06) and wheels from his 2001 C5. After spending lots of time on this forum I know that I will need 2 inch spacers front and back for the wheels but I could not find what to do about the drum to disk on the rear. I have a 91 Z28 convertible with the original rear end “I believe”. My mechanic said I would need some sort of kit for the drum to disk for the back (I’m not going to do this part). My classes end soon and going to spend the holidays getting it repainted and redoing the interior and getting the wheels and brakes on and ready 4 the spring semester.
Questions
1. 1. Am I right about the spacers and where is a good place to get them?
2. 2. What do I need for the drum to disk conversions and where is the best place to get them and do I need anything for the fronts? Companies/websites would be great.


I’m also going to be gutting the interior and using ACC pre-molded carpet putting in Dynamat and changing the red interior to black and leaving the red trim. Replacing entire sound system and getting 4th gen seats front and back.
Thanks in advance for all the help…. This forum has been a blessing for my lack of car knowledge!!!

Check with Ed Miller for a drum-to-disc rear conversion kit:
