How hard and expensive is it to change from drum brake to shoe brakes in the rear.
I recently put 20's on and the drum brakes throw it off a lil bit. So I was wondering what I would I have to do for a conversion

did you mean to disk brakes, cause its been done plenty of times... and btw shoes are a part of drum brakes...dont know if that was a typo, but since no one else answered...

so far i have about $60 in my project for discs in the rear, fbody brake set up, gonna be buying new rotors, though, and a proportion valve, so may be a total of about $200 give or take a little

What year camaro? What should I take from them?
i took mine off of a 2002, i think the 98 to 2002 are the same, as far as rear brakes and it doesn't matter if its the v8 or v6, they all have the 12" disc brakes on them... grab the line attached to the caliper and everything from the backing plate to the rotors, including the bolts...

take a look at my thread for the upgrade, I will be completing this within a few weeks, but i have everything i have so far and the price i paid... proving it can be done for around $200
