The pads would be the ones to fit the calipers, so I'm guessin they would be for an 85 Cadillac eldorado rear disc pads

LOL, I'm waiting until after I buy all of these Officer uniforms to do mine. Going to cost over 2K. If you beat me to it please throw up some install pics.

I bet the pads won't be very expensive. It will certainly look better and be easier than replacing the shoes in the drum brakes. I think drilled/slotted rotors on the front and back would look sick.

Did anyone find out when the flange changed? I have an 06 dakota and have been wanting to convert rear drums. I have found the one shown at the beginning of the thread but am not sure if it works on my vehicle. If anybody can confirm if the above conversion will work I would appreciate it.
