The bracket that holds the rear disc brake unit on sei was bent so can you use the lxi bracket that hold the drums on? By the way i'm not talking about the arm.

The trailing arm? it connects to the hub by four bolts and to the body using two bolts.

if this is the piece then yes they are the same part.

Just to make sure, you are not talking about the arm that is sticking upword and has a skinny diameter. Rather the thick one that slims down as it gets closer to the front. Have you done the rear disc conversion and if so how long did it take you to remove drums and put discs on?

Yes th e large on onthe bottom that goes to the front.

Yes I did the swap didn't take to long the longets part was switching the ebrake cable and bleeding the brakes.

I unfortunatly had the e brake cable cut but i'm not planning on using it. It can't be that important scince i have an automatic and besides florida doesn't have many hills. Did you replace your rotors and if so what kind did you get and where did you get the brake pads? Also did you use an lxi or sei proportioning valve?

use the sei prop valve. I have one thats waiting to get put on thinks to this man right up here here.^^^^^^^

If you can resurface the rotors go for it. Just get premium pads or you'll regret it.

Oh and don't mind my spelling its late and I'm tired.

Before i decide to put the new brakes on do you really notice a difference from the drums?

Nah, I'm down by Miami actually. Orlando was just where we had the meet. If we can get some people together [that will actually show up.... hint hint, hehe], then we'll probably have another meet in Orlando. I'll be sure and let ya know when we do! :)
