C5 disc brake conversion/upgrade

hey all,

i have a 72 cutlass vert w/ disc up front and drums in the back. im gonna do a disc conversion and from research on this site i know ill have to get a new m/c and booster. my questions are specific to the c5 conversions. if i get the kore3 brackets can i source the rest from ebay, salvage or auto parts stores. i want to do front and back of course. im getting bigger wheels (have 14s right now). would like to know the most cost effective way to do the c5 swap. if anyone has a list of what they used that would be great.

oh, and any issues or concerns you ran in to.

Dee

For the front I bought the brackets from Tobin and sourced everything else used on my own. I used c6 stuff but it basicly the same. You will have to use hubs from a drum brake car. I got lucky and run across a guy about to roadrace the 06 Corvette he had just bought and got his whole setup.

For the rear I used a complete setup from a 98-02 LS1 f-body. Its easy way to get a near bolt on set up with ebrake made in to it.
