Owned and operated by thirdgen.org's own ebmiller88. He sells a rear drum to disc conversion and all kinds of front brake solutions.

Depending on your axle though, you might want to just keep it drums until you can find a better replacement. When you can pick up a 4th gen axle for $200 disc-to-disc with posi, spending $85 for the brackets plus new calipers, rotors, pads, and everything else (If you have a posi, it might be worth upgrading brakes, but if you have an open diff with drums, find a whole new axle.) gets really expensive really fast.

I would say go out and grab a 4th gen rear form a JY. mine cost me 300$ and i got the PBR discs and a 3.42 posi. Its usually cheaper than upgrading just your brakes. Maybe you can snag a LS1 rear with those 12 inch discs also. But pretty much if your looking to go anything different than that ebmiller is the place to go. Hes a god with brakes but hes busy so be patient.

 

will my stock rims bolt up to a ls1 or a 4th gen rear end?????

 

Yes they will, but remember that the 4th gen rear is approx 2" wider on each side.

 

i got my 4th gen rear end what esle would i have to do to install...

 

Info about proportioning valve, master cyl, and e-brake is covered in the link I provide.
