Disc brake rear in a 2000

Hi all,

Quickie question, has anyone put a 02 + diff with disc brakes in a 2nd gen (00)? the newer ones sure do pull up a lot better with the disc/disc combo rather than the disc/drum combo.

I have access to a wrecked 02 that has the the rear end undamaged, it has 3.5 gears, anti spin, and has disc brakes. Mine has 3.5 gears non anti spin and drum brakes.

Would this be a straight swap or would I need to mess with the master cylinder. brake controller and electrics?

Thanks
Kevin
