the reason I decided to do the conversion was for many reason
1) trying to stop a c900 with early brakes and lots of boost is a bad idea, I didn't feel the car was safe, actually I'm going to be upgrading to the wilwood set up soon because the 94 9000's are not sufficient anymore for the amount of power I have.
2) more wheels are available for the late model bolt pattern
3) rear parking brake.
4) 91+ seat brackets are easier to install aftermarket seats on.
cost wise, you probably could get everything I mentioned for under $1000. I spent allot more than that because I purchased allot of the parts new and powder coated everything.
BTW you will want to change the brake booster and master cylinder to the later model one I mentioned, the larger 9000 calipers need more brake psi to work, the early booster cant do it.
A word of advice if your doing this conversion do it right, don't cut corners. The braking system is a safety device each area needs to be addressed to make it work right.
