ive spent most of time getting my 4th gen cars the way i wanted them. the 00 has way to much done to list. i road race my 00 and about the only thing stock on it is the body, trans and rear end.
now im wanting to get back to my first love my 89. a few things i have noticed on my 00 while working on it is, my 89 has drum rear brakes. can these be swapped to discs and or do i need to? also i installed baer z06 calipers and rotors to my 00, what upgrades have people done on the fronts for the third gen that will fit in the stock wheels? i have a ton of questions for this car. and im just getting started.
eventually i would like to get this car out to the track in the fall.

uwill,

There's a veritable mountain of info on this site about fronts and rears, so you might consider a search. Here's a quick link that might give you some ideas:
