Either one of you search the subject in question?

Never mind. I'll just tell you. It's not worth it. Get your drums working as designed and they will work as good or better as your disk break dreams.

You can upgrade the drums with the GM piston setup.

Like night & day. Also, use your parking brake on a weekly basis, as it seems to help them stay adjusted.

I have drums on my '01 and they have the wheel cylinders that WON'T interchange so be aware that not all the D80 wheel cylinders can be swapped for the GM units.

Better yet, go with 3rd gen front brakes/calipers.
