What would be involved in a rear disc conversion

Would all I need be a swing arm/trailing arm/ rear axel that has discs, ie off a 2.4 or lsj or lnf and re run the ebrake cable/ brake lines to the new location?

If I recall correctly it can be done but it's a little difficult. On top of the parts you listed you still need to mess with the proportioning valve as well. I'm not really sure what it involves. Somone did it on here, I think his name was "toofknloud" of something along those lines.

Edit: Username is "twofknloud"

OK thanks, I pmed him, but in the mean time does anyone else know what else would be involved?

what is your reason for wanting to do this?

Cause I don't like my drums... Lol why do anything , I have a 2.4 rear beam at my disposal just want some more info before I get into it, I already have 5 bolt so the fronts are fine for now, gonna upgrade 2 brembos tho. So I want rear discs

well their is almost no reason to do this for braking performance..., just looks so i just wanted to make sure you realized this

Yes I do realize this and Will cost me next to nothing anyways, and I need new brakes as well so I figure why not

was wondering this myself. i hate drums. I like the stopping power for DD but i hate looking at them thru my wheels. theres a bunch of front end smashed balts in dallas that i see and most have rear drums that are all intact. would it be hard to just strip the whole axel off that and swap or would there be more involved besides the ebrake issue????

I think I got it figured out yesterday, I just drooped the whole rear
Axle andnpulled the ebrake cable off my donor car, should just bolt right back up to my car now

yeah its a simple mechanical swap, but if you dont have ABS your brake bias is going to be off and very potentially unsafe.
