Disc brake recommendations

[80elky]

I have a 1980 el camino and I wanted to do a disc conversion on the back. For the front I am planning on doing Wilwood dual piston calipers but otherwise keeping that setup the same. I don't really know what kind of calipers I'll need in the back so I was looking for suggestions on some conversion kits you guys have seen. I also want to replace the booster/master cylinder and I want to keep the parking brake.

I was looking at the C5 corvette swap for the gbodys. Big dual piston set ups front and rear. ultimately decided to leave the rear stock. I upgraded the front rotors and lines to drilled and slotted. The Stainless steel braided lines helped a ton.

Thanks, that looks like exactly what I was looking for.

Wilwood kit still retains e brake?

98-05 2 wheel drive Blazer or GM set up works very nice. It also clears 15" wheels if you aren't running large wheels. Has a nice integral drum brake style parking brake set up.

What'd you use for an adapter? Those calipers can be had for around $400.

I paid $500 for the calipers with only 180 miles on them with pads
