Was wondering if any one has done a conversion to make the back rotors, to disks to make it 4 disk break setup.

Rotors=Discs.

Your looking for the word drum.

;):D



NE ways, if it were me, id just take every measurement for the back drums, and head to the yard and see what would go on there, then try it. Not that its easy, but it would definatley be cheaper, and Im aaaallll about the cheapness. :D

Search for someone that has tried it already. Changing over also includes emergency brakes, master cylinder and possibly the ABS controller.

Sounds good smoove99gase, and I think I may try it someday, but can you give some more info maybe? What all gets yanked off of the gt, and anything special to consider when putting it on an se?

thanks for the info,

It's a bit of a different issue for pre '99 cars as they never came factory with rear discs.

... I think he'd have problems doing it that way since the bolt patterns but I suppose with a little more work, it COULD work :)

And that is way out of my price range.
