are they sn95 disc brakes????If you plan to go to rear disc brakes, then the 2 port MC will be required along with the FMS M-2450-A plug and an adjustable proportioning valve.

See Matt90GT's website, http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ for all the information you need. I have a Turbo Coupe rear axle with disk brakes, and Matt90GT's site had all the info I needed to do the swap.

A new M/C isn't a big deal. Follow the recomendations on Matt90GT's website and you will be right on target.

If you plan on upgrading to SN95 Brakes front and rear then I would do the Booster as its easier to just do it while you have it apart.
