Default RE: rear disk brake conversion

If your driving in a way that makes you think you need to upgrade the brakes in your van you need either a new vehicle or your drivers license revoked. Its a minivan, drive it like one.

Just because you read something on the net your an expert. Go ahead waste your time putting rear disks on a minivan and we'll laugh ourselves silly at your dumbass. MOE-RON

PS...Why don't you put NOS on there too

Heh! Neutral party here.

As far as a conversion, don't forget your master cylinder configuration, the ABS system and the rear purporting force sent to the rears may come into play, good or bad. Just sayin.

I have a 2005 Silverado and that was the year GM swapped back to drums on the rear.
I was shocked but test drove and then purchased the truck.

She is one hell of a stopping machine I tell you. And I just had to reline them @65k miles. The fronts got upgraded too and GM finally got it right.

The full story on them going back to drums if interested is in this Word Docx.

Here is my version of a rear brake conversion. Sandblasted and caliper painted.
