I forgot to elaborate on the e-brake cables! The clip on the insulated part of the stock cable fits into the hole in the cable bracket on the caliper, but the non insulated section is too long, so you can use a cable crimp or lock to accommodate it to the right length, then leave or cut off the ...

Added a picture showing how to momentarily mount the caliper with bleeder screw at the top for accurate bleeding...

No problem at all! Hopefully it can help some folks out there! It really is an easy swap and a “why not?” Upgrade. Especially if your drums need servicing anyway.

If anyone has ANY questions about it or would like to buy the billet plates instead of buying used control arms, a bunch of sawzall ...

A world of difference in braking performance. Feels like a modern car when braking now, no more harsh drum braking from the rear that was unpredictable in the pedal and would on occasion want to lock up.

No proportioning valve change necessary, I’ve done rear disc swaps on Chrysler’s as well and ...

And yes I will/can sell sets, I figure $100 is fair. 2 plates plus the 8 longer mounting bolts that are required.
All other hardware/parts is factory stuff from the disc brake donor car.

List of donor cars are;

2000-05 Buick LeSabre
1997-05 Buick Park Avenue
1992-99 Buick Riviera
1993 Cadillac ...

I think this will be the link to the pics, bear with me guys...

I took all of those pics this time! I have no idea how to or if I can post them on here, but I can email or text them to anyone who'd like to see, or if I can send them to another member if they'd like to post them in this thread, that'd be great!

Alright, anybody who's interested in this swap, I just did the same swap on my old ladies '89 6000LE wagon. While I had the necessary pieces cut off from the donor control arms to take to my buddy to have milled flat, we traced the pattern on some billet pieces and had a few sets made on a CNC as ...

Any updates on this beast???

As soon as I get the car back I'll take pics. It's SO simple, and interferes with nothing. I wasn't sure if it had been done before, but I looked up rear suspension and brake schematics for ALL the FWD GM cars I could think of while I was still a parts guy, and this was the ONLY simple, cost ...

Never had a rear lock up situation EVER. Once I get my car back to my house I'll take pics, not really sure why I never did. And no parking brake installed for my setup, but I don't think there would be much issues using or modifying the stock cables to work. Worst case scenario use cables from the ...

I've been running this swap for almost 4 years now. Here's what I did;

Grab rear lower control arms from a 2000+ lesabre or bonneville, cut off the square part where the hub bearing and caliper bolt up, have a machine shop mill the cut side flat, and drill threads out of hub bolt holes. Use these ...
