Wyckoff Chrysler has the following on their web site:

PT Cruiser Disc Brake Conversion Kit

This kit contains just about everything you will need to convert your PT Cruiser's rear drum brakes to rear disc brakes. It contains new parking brake cables, rear parking brake shoes and hardware, caliper mounting brackets, hub & bearings assemblies, rear disc pads & rotors.

This is a kit we made up out of OEM parts and does not contain instructions and you may need to supply some of your own hardware. We've done extensive research on this and most parts you will need are included in this kit.

One problem that we have found is that the hub & bearing assembly comes with an ABS sensor tone ring. It can be left on the assembly or taken off.

We highly recommend that you purchase the Service Manual that we offer on our site to complete this job.

THIS KIT IS NOT RETURNABLE FOR ANY REASON!!!!!

no further discounts!

It is a lot cheaper buying four wheel disc brakes from the factory!!!! Plus you get ABS and Traction Control in the factory package. Just my 2¢ worth.

Remember that 70% of the braking comes from the front. When the car dives into the brake, the rear end lifts. The squeezing of the front pads is far more powerful than the pushing-out of the rear drums in the motion. Don't be afraid to run with rear drums. (source D-C tech)
