You should def need a different master cylinder. I think drum master cylinders have a residual pressure valve built in to them. Also, you'll need to see what's involved in adapting the ebrake too. I think you may need a spacer too since you would be bolting wheels directly to the flanges.

It should be the same work as a 2nd gen if our brake system matches. The caliber is mounted to a bracket that's usually welded to the axle tube. The axle flanges is what the wheel is bolted to. So six lug or five shouldn't matter...

but the rotor slides on the lugs so it would be thje same thickness as drums no spacer requiered and why you need the right lug pattern

1,200, that is crazy. Jay just took the front off the wrecked and put them on the back of the new. Looks sharp.

I have a set of BrakePerformance.com drilled and slotted rotors at home waiting for my return. I will be replacing both front calipers, rotors, and pads due to problems with current calipers (pistons not releasing completely). The original rotors are not warped yet, but they have been over heated several times in the last year.

Another important thing to consider is the computer and the CAN-B program. It does manage the break system also. How this effects the changes to rear disc and proportioning valve control etc.

My thoughts are that it only controls the abs system which that only works the module and wheel sensors. If you get it propotioned right it shouldnt matter what brakes are on it.

I would have to agree with this, because otherwise every time you did a brake job you would have to put settings in the computer or something to let it know where is more brake there.
