Rear drum to disk brake kit question
I was just looking for something at a reasonable price, and I came across this.. Other than the rice ready red calipers it doesn't look too terrible.
Anyone use this yet?

Re: Rear drum to disk brake kit question
a 4th gen rear brake setup, 98-02, is a 12" disc, aluminum pbr caliper, fits with basic modification and can be had for just over 100 bux used. Has a better parking brake setup and fits well, you need special or modified parking brake cables though. This is the route im going again with my 92, and did the conversion on my 86 years ago and am more than happy with them.
for 500 bux, that jc whitney setup looks overpriced and lacking.
