Rear Disc Brake Conversion

Hey guys, I know this has probably been covered before, but here goes anyway.
Is there a rear disc conversion kit for the 94 GXE? Or do I just buy the rotros, lines and pads for the SE and swap them in. I really would like to get the conversion done soon with the least damage possible. Also, anyone running with 13 inch rotors? Will they fit alright? And which wheels size (clearance and such) and tire size are you running?

you'll need to buy the whole rear strut assembly off a disc braked car to do the conversion.

So I can buy the struts and shocks from Toxico for a SE and then do the disc brakes?

no, you need to buy a used strut assembly. the rear struts are cartridges. so the housing itself it what you actually need.
that's why IMO the best way is to buy the whole spindle/strut assembly used .
