RPO G92 was not available on the 1991 or 1992 Z28 convertible, only the Z28 coupe.

Reference: Camaro Technical Database (for 1991) and GM Camaro brochure (for 1992).

Yes. The sequence of RPO's that were available are as follows:

G80 Limited-slip
G92 Performance axle ratio (J65 Four-wheel disc brakes included with G92)

In other words, G92 required G80 and was available on the Z28 coupe with 5-speed only. In previous years such as 1987, J65 and G92 were options on the IROC-Z convertible. Kind of makes you wonder which year(s) were the best Z28/IROC-Z ragtops, doesn't it?

Will the rear disc fit ok? I have been planning the drum to disc rearend swap since I owned the car. Is there any problems putting a disc rear in a vert? I know t-top and coupes are done all the time, but is there any reason why they didn't put disc rears in? Also, I found a complete rearend, posi 2.77 gears out of an 89'. It just came in to the boneyard, and he wants $250.00 for it and all the parts to go with(proporting valve,parking brake cables,brake lines, and master cylinder, and brake booster. Seem like a decent deal? Thanks,
