I searched rear disc conversion threads and didn't find what I needed to know. All of them were about using the rear discs from an SRT, ACR, or R/T. What I want to know is if I can use the FRONT disc setup for the rear of my 2000 SE. Yes I know it's not going to do much of anything for stopping power and that's not what I'm looking for. I hate drums with a passion so I want the simplicity of discs. So, will there be any issues doing this?

i dont think that would be possible there is also the 1gn disc swap.... if you do it i think it would be a lot of fabbing

simple would just swap r/t rear disc on.....nothing simple about swapping front disc to the rear

right... that makes no sense at all o_0

There's no R/T's, ACR's or SRT's at the junkyards near me, that's why I was thinking front. I'll look and see if there's other cars I can use the rear discs from.

where you from.....I was offered so many srt4 rear disc sets up i had to start turning them down

Lake Wales, Fl

doesnt have to be an r/t, acr, srt. some regular 2gn 00-02 neons had them, 1gn expressos, sport coupes, sport sedans, ect all had rear discs on them. i could gte you a complete bolt on setup but it wont be under 150 for it. and thats not with shipping.

Getting a front disk to slide on the rear hub would be simple: Just put it on the studs.

The part that will pwn you, is getting the front calipers to fit, positioned properly, and not lock the rear wheels when a feather falls on the brake pedal. You would need all custom one off brackets, and an adjustable proportioning valve, that you would hope has a good enough range of adjustment.

Once you have all that, it would be cheaper/simpler to buy the parts from the dealer.

FWIW, I believe there is a rear disk set up in the FS section for $250 ish.

I'll see if there's any still in the FS section when I get the money. Could I just buy the calipers for rear brakes instead of the front to bypass needing a proportioning valve?

The front rotors will be too thick, and too large of a diameter to fit in the rear calipers.
