if its a gsl-se stock pads are great, low dust and they are good aout not fading, they survived a track day just fine.

if its a 12a the stock pads squeak and make all kinds of wierd noises and they fade too

I find my stock 12a pads work great but I need a LSD with rear discs one day.

My 12a pads a quite and always have been.I might upgrade my pads on it one day.Too many other places to spend $$$ on.Like some autometer guages on the A-pillar. :yum: I will have a pair by summer.....oh yes indeed

how hard is it to covert rear drums on an 83 to discs?

its not bad, the easiest way is to get the whole rear end, disc to disc, and the e brake cables

Yeah mike is right.If you want the non-SE pattern in the rear still just look for a GSL rear from 81-85 they all have discs and LSD in them.You can buy a set of rustang I mean mustang wheels :redface: and slap them on if you find a nice set of 4 bolt stang wheels. :bigthumg:
