83 rear disc to 92 pbr rear disc?

Found a complete 92 z28 with the optional g92 suspension package for $900 dollars just wanted to know if its a good deal and how hard would it be to convert my 83 rear disc to the newer pbr off the 92 Z?

Well, being how it's already disc brakes on the car, I can't imagine it being much more than an essential "bolt-on." application. I mean, it's not like converting drum to disc. But I really wouldn't know though.....

This is a question which comes up frequently. Here's what I did:

The disc swap itself is straighforward.

The car itself has everything including the proportioning valve just curious if it would be hard to change the brake lines from the 92z28 to my 87 camaro?

The brake lines from the 92, along with all brake components, will bolt to the rear of your 87.
