I checked out Lokar. Is it just the universal kit that will work for this? They have a bunch of different ones. Some being for Explorers and stuff. I'm assuming the universal kit will work and cut it to fit.

I talked to Jeff @ JBG. They had some e-brake cable adapters to make the stock cables work, so I got those.

So, JBG disc brake conversion kit, stainless braided brake lines, e-brake cable adapters, rebuilt Caddy calipers w/ e-brake apparati, and Hawk pads.. All on their way to me. That should do the trick

You'll have to keep us posted and take pics. I'm thinking about doing that combo myself.

Will do. If I happen to forget to update this thread with it, there will definitely be pics in my build thread on it.
