brake swap from daytona to horizon

[boltthrower]

i just bought a 88 horizon with 85000 original miles on it for 450 bucks. it has discs on the front but drums in the rear. would i be able to take the disc brakes from my 89 n/a daytona and swap them onto the horizon? what parts would i need? is their a website?
thanks

They'll pretty much bolt right up. You'll have to take the entire drum setup off, backing plate and all - then just bolt on the disc stuff. You might need new steel brake lines to the rear discs, and some mod to the e-brake cable to make it work. But as you may or may not know, going to rear discs comes with a 5-lug setup, whereas your Horizon originally had 4-lug. So while your doing your rear disc setup toss the 5-lug larger front discs on (go minivan, if you can) to get 5-bolt on all 4 corners... then you'll have an array of dodge rims to fit your car too =)

thats another reason i wanna change it over. i cant stand these 13 inch tires. some 225/50 15's would look nice . btw how wide a tire can i fit in the horizon?

225's would be a waste unless you have a 7 or 8 inch wide wheel.

You can fit 195's on a 4 door L body from wha t I've read.

people run way larger then that......this dude here has 225/50/15's on his NA GLH
of course they are spaced out but still
