I am interested to see what people have used for rear disc brake conversions. Please post pics!

yes I am also interested. ALso where does everyone get there brackets? I searched and saw that a member on here made them awhile back for $92. If he is still making them I am thinkin I will probably take a set.

You're probably talking about glock. He makes brackets for non-ebrake impala calipers and brackets for ebrake camaro calipers. Just do a search, you'll find the threads.

Almost 300 just for the brackets and rotors? I am thinkin that is a bit pricey. The guy on here makes the brackets for 92 bucks shipped. Rotors are definetly not 200 dollars.
Just my .02 cents

Cadillac Seville '77-'79 for calipers and rotors ... you will still need to fab brackets and have the axles turned.

I have some brackets that I use. They use the G-Body front caliper I sold the brackets for $30.00 (Pair) they are a weld on. If you guys want more info I can post some pictures of them when I get back on Monday
