Question question about rear brakes

hi there

i am asking the question on behalf of my mate whos driving a MY97 non-turbo scooby. he plans to change the rear drum brakes into disc brakes to improve the stopping power. currently saw a demage legacy in salvage in same reg. he wants to remove the whole things of rear barke system, which include rear discs and pads, calipers, hubs, rear diffs, suspensions, shafts and things like that to transfer into his NA scooby directly. but not quite sure whether they can fit or not. so scooby gurus help.

Thanks in advance

Bobmac tried this on his Sport about two years ago but gave up!

Not worth the agro mate - just upgrade the fronts to 4 pots and put bigger discs on, wheel size permiting

most of the braking is done by the fronts anyway.
