I'm curious why you want disc in the back?  I was going to do this, but
have noticed that there is really no reason (that I can see) to have fancy
brakes on the lightest part of the vechile. I seem to lock up drums on a
truck really easily.. Anyway, I'm doing the pacer conversion, and it seems
like parts are pretty easy to get.  Did you check places like Napa and
Auto Zone? or is this just word of mouth?  Anyway, just wondering.
