    I want to do a rear disc brake conversion, I have a swap and I am about to turbo and would like a little better brakes.
    What is the cheapest way? I get all parts at wholesale, and I get employee discounts and Pep Boys, and Advanced. So I can get the parts cheap. What all do I have to have?

    What kind of brakes do you have on the front of the hatch? If you still have the stockers I would swap them first since that is where most of your stopping power comes from. If you do swap to rear disk you need the whole complete trailing arm assembly off the donor car. Best thing to do is hit up a junkyard for a complete rear brake swap. Since buying parts indvidually usually comes out to a lot higher price when you are done.
