Any pics will be appreciated.

It's a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am.

I am also interested in converting to rear disc brakes.

Is there anyone here with a recent conversion who can share their choice and experience with the conversion?

Thank you.

I've been doing a little research on the Web.

I found a few pictures.

I found a 1979 Trans Am.

The factory setup and calipers are how GM did it.

I have looked at the Wilwood stuff a bit, but nothing too deep.

I also considered stepping up to a heavier rear sway bar, but I still have the factory non-WS6 bar in place.

Yeah, I have all factory WS6.

Everything is there for the factory rear disc except the calipers.

I'm just trying to put it back like it was from the factory.

Sure, and how the parking brake cable routes if you don't mind.

Thanks

I found a few pics but can’t focus on the exact brake system, but I’ll get some better ones.

Okay, thank you I do appreciate it.

I have some more work today since we had a snow day.

Replacing my emergency brake cable.

The cable going to the emergency brake pedal was a little aggravating getting out, but I got it out.

A new one was installed.
