I want to upgrade both front and back wheels to disk brakes. The rear kits are readily available but if there is any information on how to convert the rear using stock newer Nissan parts please do add any information. If there are any caliper mount brackets available for this conversion to stock Nissan calipers, please send a link or ? As for the front wheels, the link below has the lower D21 control arms cut/ modified to 12.75 in. Is there anywhere that can do this mod to he lower arms ? As for the upper control arms and torsion rods I need more input on what will work or what to do. I have the front Bell Tech 720/ D21 lowering spindles and rear lowering block kit. As for the torsion rods, what is needed to get those to fit/ get connected to the forward crossmember? Basically, this is what I have so I would like to know more details from start to finish if you know of any to ad. Thanks.
