Default Brake Conversion and/or Diff swap questions

So I'm working on upgrading my '94. I would really like to do a rear brake conversion so I have 4-wheel discs. I was also considering swapping in a Z28 rear end, which would also give me rear discs.

Right now I'm in contact with a seller that will let me have some nice aftermarket rotors, calipers, and pads off a Trans Am for $150. First off, I'm not so sure about the price--idk if it's a good deal or if it's a little steep . I also would like some input on whether I should get discs and do a rear conversion or if I should get rear discs by way of a Z28 rear end. Thanks!

I wouldn't go with used brake parts. If you swap the whole rear axle, I'd buy all new rotors and pads at least, and thoroughly inspect the calipers, etc.

www.rockauto.com has some good prices. I always check between them and AutoZone. I just bought all new rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and drum hardware, along with front tie rod ends (all with lifetime warranty) for a little over $200, and that's including shipping.
