Lot of stickies read/ and still lost

Maybe I am sounding stupid, but I have been reading post for days. and I'm
still confused. So here I go.
What is the cheapest and easiest rear disk brake up-grade for a 10 bolt drum rear. I am not worried about super performance just something better than drum.

Second question part numbers for bolt on and go. Please help me out.

Cheapest is used. 3rd gens had iron calipers (suck) or aluminum in later years. I think going with "LS1" rear brakes from 98-02 will be easiest. These brakes were installed on all 4th gens that year, no V6 vs V8 brake differences.
You can try http://www.ebay.com/itm/98-02-Camaro-Firebird-LS1-12-Rear-Disc-Brake-Kit-calipers-mount-plate-cable-739-/121279316296?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c3ccf8148&vxp=mtr or http://www.ebay.com/itm/98-02-Camaro-SS-Z28-Firebird-Trans-Am-WS6-LS1-12-Rear-Brake-Kit-/360755501810?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53feb41af2&vxp=mtr or http://www.ebay.com/itm/98-02-Camaro-Firebird-LS1-Rear-Disc-Brakes-Kit-w-TCS-Used-W-correct-bolts-swap-/141197495896?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20e006ce58&vxp=mtr.

Then call Ed and FlyNBye for the parking brake cables.
