My 92 camaro RS came with drums brakes in the rear and fairly small discs up front. I was wondering how hard is it to convert drums to discs and how much would all the parts be including 4 drilled rotors and larger calibers?

 

It's really easy if you just swap to an entire rear that already has disc brakes.

calipers, all depends on what you're looking for. anywhere from a couple hundred for a simple 9bolt non pbr swapin to thousands of dollars for crazy 1000hp setups. The most annoying thing you'll probably have to deal with is flaring the brake lines, and if you go with non-stock, adjusting the line flow.

 

Hawk's has a conversion kit for around a $1,000 bucks.....ouch !!

 

At least the first portion of your question is one that's asked bi-weekly. A search will provide the info you require. You might start with the following link:

Generally, there's no need to reflare lines. It's a simple bolt-up..

 

hey Ed. I live in NYC so its kinda hard to get my whole ear out in the street. You think its possible to do the drum to disc swap without removing the rear or axles? if so, can you maybe explain that process. Thanks a lot

 

Not Ed, but in answer to your question, no. Check the following link to Ed's site, and you see that the axles must go through the brackets:

The following link shows how to remove the axles:
