The rear disc parts are now listed on gmpartsdirect, looks like it'll run about $682.26 to convert to rear disc with all OEM parts. Not too bad. The only part not listed was the rear calipers, they are listed but no price so I used the price for the front calipers to estimate the total.
It's hard to tell for sure but if the bearing/hub assembly is the same from drum to disc then that would save you about $150, bringing the cost closer to $532.50, they did look slightly different though.

If DDM did a full front kit, Im sure they could fab up the bracket to move the front calipers/rotors to the back with it. Maybe as an option or something... Just sayin.

Nope. Nobody here has done it, nor has the entire parts list been posted. I imagine you could sit down with a parts guy at your local dealer and come up with the list. Please post it if you do.
Good news is that it has been confirmed that the master cylinder and proportioning block are the same for drum and disc models.

Not sure if it is because I'm used to old tech but that is strange that the value is the same for both drum and disc

I'll post what I can find out. I have access to dealer-level service info, so I'll check there and see if I can find any other useful info as well

I'm willing to venture a guess...... ~$450 for parts.
If less, that's awesome. If more, it is important to have realistic expectation about performance. There a better ways to spend $500+ for performance, but if it is a visual desire, then only the builder can decide the value of the upgrade.

Agreed, probably not a bad guess either. This would be the sort of thing I'd wait to do until I could source the parts from a 'yard or CL imo. But, I'm interested more in the looks and ease of service so that's why.
