how can i change my rear drum brakes into disc brake? and are they better? and how much would the rough cost be?|||Are they better? Absolutely. Difficulty? Well, its a bit involved - I haven%26#039;t done them on a 4th gen, but on the earlier, you were best off swapping an entire rear axle from a disc-equipped car, or buying an aftermarket kit. On top of that, you need the proportioning valve and master cylinder for a 4 wheel disc equipped camaro.
I%26#039;d estimate the cost (with effective scrounging) to be about 1000-1200 bucks.
You can improve the braking performance of your rear drums by switching over to performance shoes on your 96. While they%26#039;re not the equivalent to the disc setup, it will improve the grip and fade on your drums, and pairing that with performance pads on the front will net you a very capable braking system for a fraction of the cost of the upgrade. Unless you autocross or are into 0-100-0 contests, you may find that to be a very effective alternative.|||Easiest option, get a used rear end from a camaro that had disc brakes. Check ebay or a local parts lot.
go to camaroz28.com for advice on how to do this. those guys should be able to help you significantly on what all the job entails.|||Disc brakes are much better. They make conversion kits. Start with Summit Racing and check around. You do NOT need another rear end.|||Easiest option, get a used rear end from a camaro that had disc brakes.

What that guy said.
Besides, you%26#039;d also be getting that limited slip differential (Positrac) as well.
What is not to like about that?
$200 part or some stupid $500 kit?
Exactly.
No prop valve necessary if I recall.
