im think about joining this group deal on brake stuff but i have some questions first

i was lookign at the group deal forum and came across the one listed below.
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=205196

my question is i have a 1993 gxe and i dont have the disc brakes in the rears if i purchased the rotors and pad and ss lines what is the amounts of each part i would need to purchase for a) to do everything as is now or b) to convert my rear drums to disc

if i convert to discs in the rear what other parts would i also need and about how much would it cost to get done either by a shop or by myself

also for the rotors what configuration would you recommend dimpled/ slotted, drilled etc. thanks in advance!

also if any of you guys have a simmilar setup and or installed them yourself, tell me what kind of problems to expect during installtion and or what your impressions/opions about it after you were done. i need to buy this stuff soon because my front suspension is all kinds of worn and needs new struts and brakes and what not. If you know of any where to get a better deal or know better brands to buy by all means let me know. Thanks again

Correct me if i am wrong, I think the struts are different for drums and disks. Also is the e-brake wiring the same?

no i was just commenting on how i need to get my whole suspension done soon struts and also brakes cause they are all worn out like i think my brakes are starting to squeak and my struts are worn cause the ride feels hoppy when i hit bumps and potholes on the road. and so i figure i would start at the brakes and wourk my way up to getting new struts also at least in the front

read the FAQ pages at the top of this forum. it includes EVERYTHING you're asking about, as well as the drum to disc conversion. how do I know? because I wrote the stuff. it's there. go look for it.
