you could do the A-R-B axle swap and retain your factory track width in the rear, as well as keeping the drum brakes (which can be upgraded to 10" drums) OR you can get an SN-95 rear and swap that in.

im pretty sure there is a 5 lug disc that is a direct swap for your fronts, but I do not recall exactly what its off.

go buy a parts sn95 thats been wrecked for like $400 and take all of the front setup and the rear setup. granted the rear axles are .75" longer than stock. you can also upgrade to rear disc by using the sn95 as well ull need the brake booster and a few other things from the sn for that. then junk the car for like $200

here is a good link
