Default Rear Disk brake swap / upgrade

My has a 1986 Camaro sport Coupe, 305 auto, AC etc all in great shape, very,
I mean very low miles only 82,600 ORIGINAL miles 2 owners and they were
family all it needed was a tranny overhaul, had that done today for 600.

I would like to swap the rear drum brakes for disk brakes what would be a good donor for this swap, what model
and year range.

Also what parts would I need to remove from the donor so I don't miss anything.

Thanks
Xavier

You may be able to do a Corvette brake upgrade. I'm not sure if the 1986 rear is different from the 1991 rear on the Camaros, but the 1991 B4C Camaro had the 4 wheel disc brake setup from the Corvette. You might want to look into that.

I'm not sure if you would have to swap the rear. I'm not real knowledgeable when it comes to whether you need to upgrade the rear when upgrading from drums to discs.

If it's not much trouble, look into Stop Tech, Wilwood, Baer, Brembo, and SSBC. They all make nice kits.
