I have a first gen Altima and I would like to convert the rear drums to a disc brake setup. Has anyone done this and what parts do you use. Any info would be nice. Thanks.

Guys, this is what you need to convert to rear discs:

rear knuckles off a rear disc car (they are different than the drum knuckles)rear brakes: rotors, calipers, padsrear disc brake linesrear disc ebrake cables

lot of stuff, but it's fairly cheap if you find the right junkyard, or more costly if you buy it all new.
