Question

I have the same question. Here is what I know... Baer Brakes E body Rear Disk Kit W/ 11.35" x .81 thick with integral park brake part# DOCE-10610-5BN looks good so far. WWW.baer.com/ Check out the PDF catolog. Here is what I need to find out, How do they work with stock front discs, they are a hair under 11" X .88". Do the backs have to be smaller than the fronts? If so, then what the heck are the dimentions of the MOPAR Disc kit #P5249075 . I have only begun to research this project. Another major concern is what are the dimentions of "GREEN" axle bearings? Are they like Mark Williams #56001 Mopar Non-adjustable Axle Bearing List price $75.00

I myself have just started researching this project.A friend says a company named Stainless Steel Brakes has a great product line also.Local brake mechanic says rear rotor can be same size but as a rule shouldnt be larger than the front.
Im going to call Check Wilwood tomorrow and see what they have to offer.
Thanks for the reply.

Wedgeman3 , I found some more parts, @ Martel.com or Summit or Jeg's... Strange Rear Disc Kit #B-1704WC "mopar ends 65-73... Willwood Pro Street Rear Brake kit #140-2279... Strange Axel bearing #873-A1022, no adjustment needed @ $39.99n each from Jeg's Catolog. Also SSB rear disc 10.5" # A155,or #A2910... Too many choices for me to figure out. Who out there in moparland has a rear disc brake project completed, they can brag about?
