umboutwo - Drivetofast(Josh) knew a place where to purchase the parts(He wouldn't tell me where). I gave him the money to purchase the parts. He also installed them for me. With no power tools, he installed them in 2 hours. Plus, he knew what he was doing. Peace!

nice man, for some reason i think this should be in the members rides and should help continue the rear disc conversionthread... ive talked to josh a few times and he knows his isn't i think if anyone would want this stuff new, just get it threw him it will be the cheapest place or you could get them used, its just easier but getting everything put together already instead of all these peices, most of the things are fairly new so not that much wear and tear...

Who and where is this guy? I'm in socal and this sounds like a good mod to do from both a safety and performance standpoint. Is the amount of increased stopping power / control worht the 700+ bucks the mod costs?

Anyone know if I can use a rear disc conversion kit from Brembo (or another company) and have Drivetofast get the rest of the stuff from his connections and make it work?

So if I wanted to do a rear conversion, but also wanted big break kit, could I not order certain parts if I ordered the AEM big brake , say like rotors since those would be replaced?

Or would that be hard to do?

Im thinking that so I wouldnt double spend on parts ya know?

Do you have ABS? And did you have to change brake master cyclinders or add a proportioning valve? If not then its as easy as i thought.
