$300 Rear Disc Conversion for 7.5" 3-bolt

[Doober]

I found a kit from speedwaymotors.com for under $300 but I think it will be better to buy just the caliper brackets part#91641010 for $10.99 From them and buy all the other parts from a local autoparts for the warranty but the salesman doesn't have/know what's the parts and other info on the swap now what I would like to know if anyone used this kit or if anyone knows what parts I will need to complete this swap

You're on the right track Looking at the site before I wasn't able to find the brackets alone, but I found them this time around. I'd get the rest of my parts (hoses, calipers, pads, rotors) from Autzone, etc., anything that had a lifetime warranty. If you want a parking brake (like I will with having a manual trans) you can use a set from '79-'85 Sevilles.

They also carry the correct disc-disc valve for changing everything over:

I know I am bringing this back from the dead but does anyone know if Kelly Racing still exists I cannot enter their website?

I think I tried in the past and had the same results. You can also get the brackets for rear discs from Speedway Motors though. Also check out Flynbye Performance for more rear disc options - not as cheap but they have some more options (http://www.flynbye.com).

are the speedway brackets the same as the ones from kelly racing by chance? if so I will order them for $11 each, freight will be a killer though

real sorry about leaving you all hanging on this thread, I got out of the g-body game for a while, but I should be back in with flying colors here in just a few weeks.

Yes, the speedway brackets are the same and will work...

Ok, another update...

I am waiting to hear back from Speedway if they will sell their brackets, PN# 91031928-1, by themselves.

Also, on their kit, with these brackets, they specifically say in their instructions that the rotors are from a "'93 to '97 Camaro". http://static.speedwaymotors.com/pdf/910-31923.pdf

*For those of you concerned about the parking brake...
I myself am probably going to go this route and plumb one of these in and build a bracket to actuate this with the stock parking brake lever and cable.

How about this kit & use the eldorado 78-85 rear caliplers that allow you to still have a e brake . When using the eldy calipers , make sure to always apply the ebrake or they will sieze . http://www.daymotorsports.com/product/1762/7.5-GM-DISC-BRAKE-KIT 209.00

Is it even worth it for that skimpy metric caliper?
What about shock relocation?
Lowered applications?
