1LE Front Brakes and Spindles w/rear drums
I know I am going to get a lot of flack, but has anyone installed the 1LE front brakes, spindles, etc, while still retaining the rear stock drum brakes?
The reason for this is that I am tired of tire rubbing at full lock to lock.
I do plan on installing the rear PBR disc brake system. Just want to do that when I get some $$$ to replace the 26 spline axles to 28 spline and change the gears and install a limited slip unit at the same time.
So any and all input on this would be greatly appreciated.

i did this for a few months, with the stock prop, no issues. Not ideal by any streach, but it will work fine

Cool. Well I dont plan on doing any crazy driving with this temporary set up. Just want to be able to drive the car and brake "normally".
And since I have N.O.S. GM 1LE spindles that I got off of Ebay not that long ago, collecting dust, they need to go on my car so the Ronal R-15's can fit and function like they should.

Yea ran it for years on a 91 Z, looked a little strange a drum rear on a Z with most options, worked great, and am now in the process of swapping to 13 in front and 12 in LS rears.
