Question Rear Brake Swap

1985 Rx-7 GS with rear drums

I know that I can get a GSL rear, but I want to explore other options first.

First Question

Can I swap out the drum brakes and install disk brakes on the GS rear?

Second Question

What materials would be needed besides the rotors, brake pads, lines and calipers?

good question. I don't think you can. I think you have to swap the whole rear end which really is an easy job. But if you can you also need a gsl master cylinder for proportional valve. I think that is right? but some one will double check that.
