Just ordered my new front brakes should be in in a couple of weeks if the fronts go well will order the rears too

Most of the 3rd gen world have just started thinking about the conversion and ive been planning it for nearly a year.

Holy fk!!

I have no plans what-so-ever to change the wheels on mine... Baer do a decent 12" (or 13" JUST) rotor system for the 3rd gen... in years to come the car will get that hopefully

My stock brakes stop me fine.

This is just for mine i will be doing the C5 vette conversion which is basically the 1LE option for people who dont want as big. Its not always just about stopping but i will need them soon

Why 19" my poncho is only getting 17" and thats gonna be running 13" rotors and 6 pot calipers. I am going to run the 1 1/8" rotor though

Rotors are bigger than 13"

I want the C5 ZO6 ones on mine. Good enough without spending big wedge plus they must fit under 18s.

The rear drums are still the problem though, I've not found any cheap conversion to discs...

Have you looked at kore3.com ??

Thats the main conversions i will be doing so if you need the parts mate i can get them cheaper, the ones i have ordered will work out around £1000 cheaper overall.
Going to convert the master cylinder for a 4th gen one, and have the hoses made by a family member

Just got to decide on rear end either swap it out for a disc rear end or convert exsiting one.

Then engines coming out

I was gonna do the rear axle swap, but I think there's more mileage in a conversion as disc axles aren't as easy to get hold of over here.
