Converted those ole brake drums over finally and I have to say that their product was very easy and basically just straight bolt on.

Anything different with the wheels like the back spacing?  :clueless:

I got it from Magnumforce and with everything listed below it came to $1,243.95. The toughest part of the job was the new Master Cylinder, because as we all know has to be done from under the dash. No changes in reference to backspacing though.

They are 4 piston calipers and I didn't want to push the size of the rotors since I am dead set on staying on 15's.
