I was looking at our 2000 bonnie today and it got me wondering...How hard/expensive would it be to replace the drum brakes on the rear wheels of my '97 with the disc brakes from a newer model Bonneville or simular Pontiac. Would this be cost effective or should I just get bigger discs for my front after i get rims (hopefully this summer).
Having a kit made for my 95 will be glad to have one made for the 97.
My original price is a bit high for this crowd so I will make a cheaper kit to just convert to disks in the rear. This will also solve the disk "warp" issues often found with poor quality rear adjusters.

What kind of price range are you talking about? I figure that just stock quality discs would give even better stopping power than the factory drums, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Yes the stock rear disks from a 2000 Bonneville or other related GM would be better. Once I get it figured out I will have a insured production company make it for us so it can go to market.

The kit can be done any time someone is ready but it will require us to acquire a car and then build the kit and finally test it. So if you buy a kit it will be made. It will take awhile to get made so I will try and set aside enough time with the builder to make it happen. Just let me know that you are serious and I will start setting it up. Once I have a time line I will need full payment and I will have it built.
