mooch1, you may have to wait A WHILE. I messaged him back in December and am still waiting for a response. Now, I don't NEED brakes right now, but would like to get everything situated ahead of time, so when the day comes I can get everything right away.

This is for the 89?-92 J65 rear disc setup. 11.65" rotors, single piston calipers. They were also available on 93-97 4thgen cars, although slightly different calipers and e-brake setup IIRC. You can find cheap white box rotors, but the calipers are pretty expensive (unless you find some in a junkyard). You'll probably also need a proportioning valve (stock or Wilwood adjustable) since you have drum rear.
I'm sure he'll get back to you... patience

Yup. Dang good deals. Im running his caliper brakets on my 10bolt no probs so far, doubt i will either. They look good. May be for sale soon looking for a 4th gen rear. I may sell my brackets with pads, rotors, calipers, cables.

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
I'm a bit busy, yes, to say the least. I caught up with all current PMs yesterday, e-mail is another story.. Best bet is to call if you want to discuss application and specific questions.
FYI, the LS1 conversion cables should be coming in a week or so. I finally got to work on my own car and moved it in order to fix a few things and do a rearend swap/LS1 disc upgrade. Pics and info to follow in another thread.

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
Hi Ed,
This is great information.
I have a 91 TA, unfortunatly in came with rear drum brakes. I have purchased a complete set of disc brakes from a 92 Z28 (calipers, 11.6" disc, all the hard lines and parking lines). From reading your thread it appears I am only missing the adapter bracket. Are you still selling them? how much?

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
So let me make sure I understand this. Which style rotor might give you trouble with this swap due to axle flange size, The old looking one on the right?? or the new looking one on the left??

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
Thanks for the reply. You are correct on my vert it has rear drums. But I am looking for the whole kit. The rear discs are easy enough but the rest of the mounting hardware is what I'm really looking for. I would like to know what the price of the kit is and what it consists of.

Thanks Mr. Miller, Looking foward to getting this thing on the ground.
I do have a question for this conversion? I see that no Dust sheilds are used, Has this ever been a problem for anyone? ( rain and dirt affecting braking ) Just Qurrious.

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
I bought this kit as well as the front end c5 kit from Ed. I just got the stuff in the mail, got the front end done, but this rear is a bear. I got the axles out and everything, I am now just trying to get the fluid cylinder off as well as the monster bolt. I wish I had the rear end off the car. Anywho, I am having a buddy come over today and we will see what we got. Overall though, very easy upgrade. I would recommend buying from Ed anytime. Once I am done, I will post a new thread.

Re: Hassle free drum rear disc conversion to 1LE/ LT1 PBR rear brakes
Ya, I now got the backing plates on and the rear end put back together. The only thing left is running the axel hard lines and the e brake cables. I stoped working on her now becuase I will have to splice in a new line becuase where the main line goes into the splitter wont come off and is twisting the whole line off. I would have done it but its been really cold here lately and I have no heater in the garage. Soon as it warms up I will go get a line and flare kit to fix her. I am just glad I am past the tough part.

Ed,
Great thread, I am doing the exact same thing you outlined. I am in need of the adapter brackets and the proportioning valve.
Do you offer both?

Is Ed still selling these pieces? Left a few Emails at the site with nothing back. I would like to get a set of these brackets if still available. TIA.

good luck. He PM'ed me saying he was going to call me 3 days ago because he had the day off. He never called me, or responded to a 3rd voicemail I left him 2 days ago. I've been trying to get ahold of him for 4-5 months now.
