Default '91 Firebird Rear Disc Brake Question

What other years are compatible with the disc brake assembly on a 1991 Firebird? I want to make the conversion to discs, and need to know what to look for in the junkyard.

'89-92 Camaro and Firebird would have the same as factory installed on your Firebird. Those years used the upgraded PBR system that was imported from Australia. Look for Trans Ams and Camaro's with TPI engines as most of them will have rear discs.

The earlier '82-88 Delco Moraine rear discs would fit and are easier to find but they have issues with the parking brake mechanism seizing and don't have very good clamping force.

Great answer! Thanks!
