    You don't have to replace the entire rear to use discs. However, it may be more worthwhile to replace the whole rear, then you can get disc brakes, LSD, and a higher gear ratio.

        ^ thats what I did, great write up. I think mine was around $200-$300 total, used drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads. Also use the shims.

          not to be thread jacking here but,

          i am about to get a deal on a whole rear end out of a 99 ss, my car is a 96 a4 drum car, to go from the early style brakes to the newer ones what is needed? i thought i had read something about the hoses being diffrent between the lt1 and ls1 style rearends.
