Look on ebay. TA Creations always has some on there. Though they are just stock conversions.

I didn't find an conversion kits on ebay, just OEM replacements for those that already have rear disc. I did find a kit from Wilwood, waiting for a price tag and nearest retailer.

all you would be doing is putting discs in place of the drums. try searching disc swap there is lots of info on this. i had drums originally but swap to a rear out of a z28 that had discs.

Do the whole axle swap. You'll thank everyone later on... honest! :tup:

I did the conversion, not really hard , I would use the shims also, and since you have the rear cover off you can do a T/A cover, stud kit and put some RP oil in there. Good way to beef up the rear.

Tom RS, just looked at your ebay page for the brake package. What brand are the calipers? How long have they been sitting out of the car? Did you buy them new or were they used? Very interested!

Re: Drum to disc conversion?

I agree swap out the whole rear off a v8. Good time to clean it up and paint too my old rear was an old rust bucket. Plus you get rid of the one wheel wonder. :rock:

One wheel peel is easily fixed by LSD. But I agree it would be better just not sure whats the most cost efficient way. Comparring prices for both now.
