So shortly we will be upgrading our 1987 Buick Grand National to a rear disc brake setup.
There’s many different setups, and donor cars you can acquire from to make them work on a G-body vehicle.
(98-02 Camaro/Firebird, S10 Blazer, Corvette, etc.)
We already have our rear disc brake kit (similar to the first and second videos below), but wanted to investigate what other systems are available, and more importantly, how these are actually installed onto a Turbo Buick.
For our own reference, we are posting them below, but since we figured if we were interested in checking them out, you might be to! So here ya go!

A popular kit that resembles what we are using (eldorado calipers/pads, S10 rotors, Camaro flex hoses, custom backing plates):
