I've got an ST and as you know, the rear brakes are drums. I want to swap them out for discs and I'm going to go junkyard hopping soon and I know the GTs have discs, so what would I have to pull from the GT to make the brakes work on my ST?

I'm at Just Brakes to check the drums if they need replacing. Just for kicks, I asked them if they'd do the rear disc conversion for me since I'm at college living in dorms and I have nowhere to take apart my car. They said that I need more than just the internal drums, rotor, caliper, pad, and e brake lines. They said I'd need to replace the ABS pump and master cylinder, etc. in order for the right pressure to be distributed throughout the brakes. It'd be great if someone could prove/disprove this because I've looked through a few drum to disc conversions and not once did I see anything about ABS pumps or master cylinders. Thanks guys.
