Default 84 GT rear drum brake conversion

Hello, i have been looking everywhere and cannot find anything on replacing my rear drum brakes with disk brakes. every kit i can find is for 1987 and up. can i use a kit for 87's? What do i need to do to?

it does not matter much to me to keep the 4 lug nuts as i am going to be buying new wheels/tires also.

edit:

Also if anyone knows of a site that actually sells 84 parts it would be much apriciated. it's annoying when i find a site that has a 79-90(or so) catagory yet everything is for 87 and up or much older.

If you want a little more info, go under tech articles and find my post about a turbo coupe swap, I did it on my 86 which should be like your 84

start by putting an 8.8" rear end under your car first.... then worry about converting your brakes.
