    SE-I rear disc brake conversion

    So my drums started making a shuddering sound as I drive up the road, and a popping noise when they stop.

    Ive decided that the drum brakes are a shitty ass stupid design and I dont like them anyway.

    What parts do I need from the SE-I to do the rear disc calipur conversion?

    Also what parts can I source from a place like O reillys or advance? going to look up now.

    I take it the hardest part to source will be the SE-I emergency brake line, the one that goes to the parking brake? If so im just going to buy the rotors pads and caliper from Ebay.

    I did not know those were still available. I may pick up a set for future use.

    P.S. I updated my rear disk thread with a parts required list. After fallowing your link to my thread I realized I only had a tool list .

    Thanks for the needed parts list forest, that will be very very useful. Im jobless so im broke now but I have 3 hopeful jobs.. 2 as supervisor positions and 1 as a construction worker.. Im hoping I get one soon so I can start paying my bills again.. I hate having to learn into savings money to pay it.

    Also I just checked rockauto.. they have a quite a few parking brake lines for the calipers.

    I think the hardest thing to get will be the wheel hub bracket..

    I merged this thread with the existing Rear Disc Swap thread in the How-To section.
