Hello,

My brother has a 1972 Nova that has terrible brakes. There is no power booster and the discs in front are really small and don't cover much area. We already purchased an OEM Delco Powerbooster to install and a new master cylinder. I'm not too knowledgable on brake conversions and was wondering if there was any way we could convert the rear drums to a more modern disc system. We're also interested in increasing the diameter of the front discs and possibly going for slotted and drilled rotors. Is there any way to do this without spending $700-$1000. Thanks,
Dan

S-10 rear discs. Do a search for them here and you will find tons of info. I got all the necessary parts from my local pick-n-pull for $250. PM or email me if you have any questions. I might be able to snap some pics tomorrow or sat.
