Sounds cool. Get some pics up...and what does it take to do a rear disc conversion? I've got a 1999 Lumina with rear drums that I'd like to change over to discs.

I would pull the knuckles from a JY, mine came from a 96 CS I think.
Purchace new calipers and disks, I got drilled/slotted all the way around.
Puchace new P-brake cable from dealer, rockauto.com will send the wrong one.
