Im looking for some suggestions for my buick regal. the front has disc brakes and the rear has drum brakes. Im trying to figure out what would be a good "budget" set up to upgrade the rear brakes and possibly the fronts. (I.E. looking for some things that i can purchase at shucks or autozone) I bought some 19 inch wheels tonight and dont want to look at drums in the rear! thanks in advance

Here is what I want to do on my Dads nova. If I am readin it right you the adaptor plates are $39 and you could probably pick up a set of rear brakes off of LS1tech for under $200

What is your budget? Can't go wrong with the 99 Camaro/C5 rotor rear and C5 13"fronts.
We did a full install with master/booster and lines for just under a grand. Cheaper if you don't require a parking brake. I think Zbugger has an extra set of simulated disc covers! LOL

Forget about Shucks....some of there rebuilt stuff is scary.
You can get rotors for cheap on ebay. $75 shipped all four. This guys got some good stuff and is willing to combine shipping most of the time. http://stores.ebay.com/Karstuffs_Corvette-C5-parts_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ11780973QQftidZ2QQtZk m

hmm thanks for the links guys and the help, part of the reason i was asking is that im not sure what i will all need, ie brakets and what not.
i talked to tobin at kore3 and he said to wait a few months and they will have something..

looks like a pretty well thought out kit. Have no experience with them though.
I bought the full front end rebuild fit for my Galaxie from PST as well as assorted parts for past cars and they were great every time! Fast shipping, perfect fit, great sales/ phone service! Cant go wrong.

Matt, if I read it right thats just for the 11" rears. right? If so you can do a lot better. I assumed you wanted to upgrade all the way around.
