Which kit?

I dont feel like paying for shipping everytime I need a part. I know that brakes when done correct will last a long time, but still dont want to pay for shipping. Im trying to lighten the car now to make it go faster. I did search for parts and was not able to tell which were correct for mine seeing as I dont know what model the parts came out of. I dont really care about the price, seeing as if i sell them to someone who really wants them, Im not really paying much for the disc at all.

Okay, that's fine, but what I'm saying is welcome to the world of owning an old car. Thinking you're going to get everything, or anything good at all for that matter down at the local chain store is just not realistic. A lot of the time you can get parts cheaper online than at the chain stores anyway, so paying for shipping is a moot point. If you don't know what you have or what to order, that's another story, but then you just need to do a little more research and figure it out. You don't need to know specifically the car it came out of, just something it was used on, like a C-body from yearthis-to-yearthat. That seems much easier to me than swapping out parts or major assemblies all the time, but again, that's just me. Nothing you're dealing with is as hard to deal with as for people who have REALLY rare cars. You don't. IMO, you have it pretty easy there.

Not arguing, do whatever you want, just trying to put a bit of realism into your justifications. Good luck with your swap if you decide to do it. I'd love to have rear discs too, but to me it's just not worth the expense or bother.
