I'm buying 1980 firebird and was wondering if anyone has attempted to convert rear drum brakes to Disc Brakes. I'm sure it mut be possible..

Ok you should have a 8.5" 10 bolt. So you can get a conversion kit from Stainless Steel Brakes for $636.99 (out of Jegs), or look for another Firebird or camaro with a rear disk set up. I don't know if any other cars will fit though. There could be another.
