Well after the installation of my lt1 the rear drum brakes aren't workin so well. I did the ls1 brake swap a long time ago up front and would like to compliment it with a ls1 rear brake setup as well. My question is how do i go from 94 drum brakes to a 98+ style rear disc brake setup? What parts are needed? Thanks!

Rear brake conversion possible?

easiest & perhaps cheapest way would be to lift the whole axle off a junkyard car.
I think the problems you will encounter will be ABS, sensors, and brake lines.2001 75th Anniversary V6 Pewter Firebird w/ Chrome Wheels, T-Tops, & Y87<br />Mods: Free Ram Air, !Silencer, Holley Filter, Full 3\" Hooker Catback, 3\" Cat<br />Best time: 15.095 at 90.00 MPH with a 2.127 60\'

What brake hose did you use, the existing or the LS1?

No, better to go with a 93-97 rear end or brake "kit" from a V8 car. There several differences between the 93-97 and 98+ rear brakes.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com
