drum to disc

Matt93GXE has done it, search to find the info (I am sure he did some detailed writeups)...Yea I got the rusty drum in the back, and the rusty caliper in the front to match it!

As far as I know, the only two people that have done the conversion are me and Kaleb, with the other person helping.
We did mine back around September, and we did Kaleb's in December.

Cost was $130 for mine, and ~$270 for Kaleb's. (I got a really good deal from a weird hook-up on the parts, through 2 salvage yards.)

This price will include all the parts you'll need, including used rotors (and usually some used pads)..
keep in mind these are used parts, to the rotors may or may not be any good, same with brake pads and even calipers.


here's the link to the write-up I did on my website.
