i just picked up a complete set-up to convert my rear drums to ls-1 disc. just curious as to what modifications are needed to do this. is everyone who runs them running the rear rotor from the camaros? obviously the parking brake will take alittle bit of fabrication. are the caliper mounts and backing plates a direct bolt on ? just wondering what im in for as i wont have the actual parts for a week or so.

swap the calipers side to side, and mount the calipers on the rear of the axle. yes, the camaro rotors work great. unfortunatly i dont have my park brake finished yet - no help there.

Why do you swap the calipers side to side, and mount them on the back side instead of the front side of the axle??

I used to offer a setup for this, I'm no longer able to offer the kits, however I am working on getting production transfered to another member here on the board.
