Rear rotors
Rear brake pads

Honestly JD... I used my stock ebrake lines... they fitted with out dremeling straight into the backing plate no problem...
Also man dont buy a kit from those guys on 3g... go to the junk yard and get the stuff yourself.. .it will be cheaper i got my whole brake setup.. with caliprs and rotors for 100 for both... lol off a v6 galant... and they took it off for me i just tipped 15 bucks..

Yeah I have other stuff too but who cares LOL!
^^yeah I know whatcha mean. I was looking at the ones that were for sale on club3g. They were like over 300 shipped. And I was constantly talked out of them, and told not too be lazy and just pick them up myself. Honestly everytime I have been to the junk yards around my way I haven't seen any 8gs or 3gs.
Its funny Jay cuzz when i did the conversion... I kept the whole assembly i took off the v6 and just bolted it up to my car i didnt do swaps... which made it even easier... I cleaned and painted all the pieces and just bolted them up... was very easy and straight swap nothing custom I had to do...

so would all we need from a v6 g would be the calipers and backing plates, and brake lines? If I did this I would get new rotors and pads, and if we can use our 4cyl brake lines I'd just do that. Correct me if im wrong!
you cant use the 4 cyl brake lines from the drums,yea just those 3 things but chances are JY won't just sell the backing plate's by themselves your probably gonna end up with an extra set of hub bearings/spindles,you could turn the rotors that came off the salvage save your self some $$$ and just get new padsOriginally Posted by Chevelle71_05

I have a 2011 Galant with rear drum brakes, can anyone please help me with what I need to do to convert it to a rear disc? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
