Rear Disc Conversion Kits?
Is there a kit to convert the stock rear drum brakes on a 91 RS to rear disc?
I was looking at the kit below but didn't know if it was built for this type of conversion or not...

I installed this kit; pretty straightforward, although it does NOT come with the correct ebrake cables (sourced some through Hawks). I have a 91 Z28, so this should work fine for your 91 RS. It does fit under the stock wheels.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've driven maybe 5 miles with these brakes.
I have a few pictures in my build thread if you are interested: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...z28-build.html

I would stick with the 89-97 style aluminum rear caliper unless it doesn't fit under the 15" wheels.
(I had them fit with my Weld wheels)
