Rear disc's???

Wondering if anyone has swapped to rear discs. Anyone made there own? If so what did you do and who's parts did you use.

Seems as if last time I looked the Kits were using old Cadillac calipers that had cable actuated e-brake's. Anyone know what years of cady had these caliper's. I have some dodge rotors and some chevy rotors all 8 lug and would really like disc's in the rear. I'm not afraid to make my own brackets and have before, just concerned about messing up my brake balance by using an incorrect size of piston in the rear brake mechanizm.

thanks for any help.
