Converting rear drums to disc brakes?

Does anyone offer a kit that can convert rear drums on a 92 Z28 to disc brakes?

Re: Converting rear drums to disc brakes?

One thing you can do is go get a rebuild (or one you can rebuild) Rear end (full axle) & swap them over I Know thats what my brother in law did when my husband's 87 was totaled. My Brother had a 90 Rs Vert with drum brakes & my husbands car had disc brakes. All My brother in law did was jacked both cars up & went to town.

Re: Converting rear drums to disc brakes?

i have a friend who took disc brake rear our of a firebird, i think 3rd gen, and he forget to take the ebrake cable because he figured he didnt need it, but he did, he tells me that the original cable on his 85 z28 doesnt work with this rear end out of a later firebird (i think 89, or maybe 94)
