hi.. i would like to convert my rear drum brakes to disc brakes ... if any one ever done that i would appreciate some info , thank you

SEARCH

or even better yet there is a sticky at the top of the page

Search won't help, nobody, not a single person, in the entire history of the J-body has EVER done anything like this. You'll be the first so you make sure you tell us everything about it and take lots of pics.

Here I'll even spoonfeed you the link. Next time open your eyes and actually look at the page before clicking to make a new topic.

there are a few routes you can go. like mentioned in the sticky on the top of this forum is the neon rear brake swap. its cheapest route to go. if you want a big brake kit, baer and ssbc make a rear conversion kit. i believe the baers are around 1200 and the ssbc are around 700.

You heard right.

i tried it once, and failed



swapped, supercharged, intercooled, 2.9, fun

I heard rumors of a guy that knew how to do the conversion, but they say he died of malaria before he could pass on his knowledge.

SSBC manufactures a VERY nice setup.

Does it come with malaria??

You people are nuts. You can NOT put rear discs on a J-body.

If you want rear disc brakes, your only option is to buy another car.

Try being helpful, for once in your pathetic lives, There is actually a group purches for a bolt on kit that adds Neon discs to the rear.

I see nothing wrong with having a little fun with someone who asked a question that is so blatently covered on this site, and in the stickies of this very forum.

and if the OP would have actually opened his eyes and looked he would have found that. After all theres plenty info about it on the first page.

That will work. Then just transfer all the j-body bits to that car except the brakes and you'll be all set.

^^ It's such a pain-free process! I like when things in life turn out to be so simple.
