Hi all, although my Bonnie is 21 years old it's still pretty modern ever by today's standards except it has 2 drums on it, I was wondering if it's possible to switch out the drums with disks, now I'm not looking for anything fancy, mabey just the same disks that are on the front, vented and mabey drilled as well
So is it possible? Then what would u guys reccomend and would my local mechanic be able to put them on as simple as just a bolt on, thanks for the help in advance!!

Read thoroughly, there are just a few things left to figure out IMO that would make it perfect. If you wanted to do it cheaper, just get the adjustable proportioning valves for the rear. I am doing a big brake swap at the same time so that's why I have a lot more to work out.
Edit: Proper adjustment will have the rear brakes lock up AFTER the front brakes. Also note that your front pads may wear a little faster than the rears if you decide to use the adjustable proportioning valve. Some people may think this would be overkill for a OEM car, but after this I am of the opinion that you can never have too much brakes.
