I got a '93 Firebird. I have drum brakes on the back, and I believe that Z28's came with disc's. What would have to be done? Can the swap still be done? What kinda modifications would need to be done?

to the brakes or the entire rear? you should be able to do it. yeah the v-8s all had discs. more power = more needed stopping power. i may be wrong but you might need some sort of conversion kit.

The proportioning valve is different and will need to be changed. Since you have a 93 you can use anything between 93-97. I'm not sure about useing the 98-02's but if you can go for it, the brakes are bigger.

It is different, Drum/Disc's do not need the same amount of pressure.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>Comment
