Default 86 CGT Rear Drum to Disc conversion

What would i need to convert from rear drums to rear disc brakes?

Would UR-Quattro calipers work with the solid rotors redrilled to 4x108? or even 200TQ caliper with vented V8 Quattro or S6 rotors redrilled?

or would my best bet be to find a newer CGT with rear discs or a 4000 maybe which is already 4x108?

How is the e-brake set up on the rear disc brake setup?
Is there basically a drum inside the disc or is there a cable going to the caliper?

Thanks!

On the 4000 there is a cable going through the caliper for the parking brake.

You would need to get the rear end(axle assembly) and brakes from an special Build GT(hard to find) or from an audi 80 FWD(88-91)(much more common). I'm pretty sure the rear calipers could be sourced from a 4000 quattro also, just not the rotors, as the offset is different if I remember correctly. I know some that have done the swap on this board and its relatively easy. At the same time, I would replace the trailing arm bushings and panhard bar bushings. Good luck!
