Hey guys, I was wondering if any of your guys could tell me what you've done with changing rear drums to disks. What did you exactly use. Kinda planning on changing mine after I do my engine swap. Thanks again.

A lot of guys are going with the LS1 rear brakes with the internal e-brake system. I like it, but for ease of system swaps, I'd look into the '89-97 PBR rear brake setup. Here's a shot of some of those parts I just put together, this is pretty much what you'd need. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ed,

You making a kit or putting together a parts list for this conversion? How much to do the swap over?


Thanks

PBR is nice, i hear you dont even have to change the proportioning valve if you have drums already.
