Are the 78 caddy sevilles rear discs components a direct bolt on for our gbodys?? Are the parts(rotors.pads,etc) available at the local parts stores(AutoZone,napa,etc)I have a ls1 set up,but while overlooking this set-up on a Seville,it looks like the ebrake would be easier to adapt,as its one with the caliper?any info greatly appreciated.

There is a guy from utah I think, I met at DragWeek that had a Cadillac rear disc setup on his x-body. He said it was a bolt on for him. He was running a fuel injected BBB and a 5 speed trans. The Silver Buick is his screen name I believe. You might try to contact him. I believe I have seen him post at bangshift.com too.

I have an 8.2 rear. I have set up the calliper bracket from an F body with the 1980 Seville calliper. I have not installed it yet, never got around to this summer but I will be installing it this winter. I like Seville calliper since the return spring of for the parking brake is smaller than the set up on the F body calliper and it won't interfere with the shocks as much as the F body calliper. I am using the F body rotor with the set up. I already have the F body handbrake installed so that will make the conversion easier. I know some don't bother with settting up the parking brake but I have a stick so I won't go without a hand brake
