Re: Rear Drum brake to Disc Brake conversion

I don't know from experience, but I'll try to help out. Obviously your going to have to get all the disk brake hardware compatible with your vehicle, probably improved brake lines(maybe not a must, but cheap insurance), and I'm sure a new master cylinder to be able to handle 4 wheel disks vs 2 drums/2 disks. I'm not sure if there's some type of swap done at the axle ends so you can swap em over though. Hope this helps out some. What vehicle is this for? There might be an entire kit out there to do this.
