Rear disc brakes on bonnie
Im in the process of changing the rear drums to disc and was wondering could I just use the the front brake assembly front a bonneville and use it for the rear?

This conversion may be more trouble than its worth. My GXP bonneville with 4 wheel discs did not see to stop any better than the 95SSE with rear drums I had and sold.

Take a trip to the junk yard and see if the rear kunckles and disks from a pre 97 w-body will fit. They have shocks in the rear like a pre 00 bonnie.
You'll still need to figure out how to get the parking brake to work and new proportioning valves.
