Hello i got an 84 camaro with drums in the rear and i want to upgrade the brake system on the car, so using drums just doesnt seem the correct path to follow. i have read up a little bit on conversions but am not sure which way to do it is the best way to complete this conversion

obviously people have done this in the past and i was wondering if there is a kit online that i can purchase or do i need to find like a 4th gen donor rear to complete this conversion

please can someone explain which way is the best. this is one of the last things that needs to be done to my car before i can put it back on the road

thanks alot

Check the following FAQ for brake info (parking brake, master, and combination valve, which in your car may have SAE threads):
