There are also aftermarket kits for the rear. Baer, Wilwood, & (I think) Brembo make 'em. Ain't cheap, though.

There's this, too...

Those rear rotor's are 5 lug and his is 4wd 6 lug, so I am not sure what he need's.

Use 88-91 K1500 front rotors instead of the impalas for use with the above and doing a 6 lug.

Damn! Sorry boss, I was on my way out the door & I C&P'd the info I have on 4whl disc conversions. Didn't pay enough attention to your post, & didn't see the 'K' designation.

what is the whole k1500 and c1500? i cant figure that out?

 

[JollyGreen]

C1500 is 2wd and K1500 is 4wd

Are there any proportioning problems with the rear discs? I'm on the fence on rebuilding my rear drums or going this route. Does it make a significant difference?
