Reain my 3rd gen?
hey guys i know this isnt the section for a 3rd gen question but it relates. i have access to a rear outta my old 94 Z would i be able to swap that right into my 3rd gen without any problems? it looks like direct bolt up to me. i mean i could be wrong the biggest problem im gonna have is mine are drum now and would be switched over to disc. which is what im looking for plus posi and the better gears. can someone please please please give me insight on this. i need to know asap. thanks in advance guys. preferably someone that has proof it will work so im not doing the work and find out it still doesnt work. lol

The 4th gen rear is wider (about 1.5" on each side) and unless you compensate with the right offset it will look fugly. Many have done it, for the posi and the brake upgrade that you mentioned. It is a direct bolt in, not sure about if the brake lines hook right up, but I think it should be simple. My buddy did this with his Iroc and it came out nice...no more one-tire-fire.
