I went from drum brakes to show-stopping disc brakes with the following parts:
GT-S rear brake backing plates - used
knuckle bolts - new
8x M10-1.25mm X 40mm
GT-S parking brake shoes - new
Centric 111.07960
GT-S parking brake hardware - new
GT-S rear brake rotors - new
Power Stop drilled & slotted silver zinc dicromate plated (K2318 kit)
GT-S rear brake pads - new
Power Stop Z23 Evolution carbon-fiber ceramic (K2318 kit)
GT-S rear calipers - remanufactured
GT-S rear brake pad mounting hardware - new
Centric 11744055
GT-S rear caliper mounting hardware - new
Carlson 14147:
2x M10-1.25mmx60mm 17mm hex head
2x M10-1.25mmx80mm 14mm flange hex head
2x M10 split lock washers
+2x additional M10 washers
GT-S rear brake lines - new
StopTech 950.44005 stainless steel brake line pair
parking brake cable - re-used and modified existing GT cable
Tools needed:
socket wrench set
cleaning spray
steel brush
brake bleeder
mallet or hammer
I was able to use the GT knuckles in this conversion. At the surface that bolts onto the knuckle, I found that the GT-S caliper backing plate is about 5mm thicker than the GT drum backing plate. This will be equivalent to using 5mm spacers on your rear wheel offset.
