When you change to discs, a few things will happen:
1) Your stock rear rims are useless. The SS rotors and hubs are 5 lugs. You'll need new rims.
2) When buying new rims, your choices are limited since 5x110 isn't common like 4x100 is.
3) If you drive a stick shift and use your ebrake to park, your ebrake will be much weaker.

im in the dep, i leave for boot october 11th, but how much are u getting the rear extension for?? i saw it for 300 and thats alittle pricey, im lookin for aaftermarket replica thats cheaper
im in the same boat as everyone i want rear disks. from what i have reaserched the best way to go about it is find a junkyard rear twist beam with disks and just bolt it in. the only thing i cant seem to find is whether the lines will work. and you will need the e brake cable too
