Info on changing my rear end
I have a 94 with rear drums. Im looking for information on how i should go about upgrading them to disk breaks. If you could bear with me im not a car guy but i am slowly becoming one everythime something goes wrong with my car.
-what does "posi" mean when you talk about a rear end? -what gears should i be looking for? what year f-bodys should i look for? I guess well start there, and again im sorry i dont know more - im gona do some searching on this board, but i wanted to post something. Thanks for any info! |
ok i understand posi...ha, sorry i wasnt sure i was correct, but i was right. so i want a posi rear: found one out of a 94 for $250 ( is that a decent price) but what is a shop going to charge me (ball park) to install.
|
buy beers(soda for under 21) and pizza for a bunch of guys here, and i think you'll get some free labor, lol
|
im selling one on craigslist and i think we have been e-mailing eachother its not a tough job to install it all you need is a floor jack and spring compressor
|
You don't need a spring compressor to change in a rear in a 3rd or 4th gen.
|
3rdgenlt1 - oh ok, yea. Im deff interrested. 2hrs away is not that bad.
i would buy whom ever a keg if they installed it for me! |
the hardest part will be changing the brakes over from drum to disc, ie bleeding etc. ive done several rear end swaps, f and g bodies and it can go real quick
|
If you can't find anyone to help you out for beer and pizza let me know and I'll quote you a good price to do it at my shop.

Id find a whole rear end, contemporary corvette has them... no sense in converting over cost way too much..
|
def don't need a spring compressor.. I had the camaro on floor jacks and the rear on a jack and did it that way...... The conversion from drum to disc is no change in brakes on a 3rd gen atleast, except for proportioning valve.....
|
I have a disc brake proportioning valve for sale...
