4th gen brakes on 3rd gen ?

No luck with the search button.

Someone local to me is selling a pair of these brand new for $200. But before I pull the trigger Id like to know if its possible to use them on a third gen camaro (1988 IROC)

Brakes------> Part numbers :
42997SL (left)
42997SR (right)

4th gen rear brakes do fit, but most people don't bother with the conversion, they just put a 4th gen axle back there.

FRONT brake conversions are where its at.

The rotors themselves won't fit, if that's what you're asking. You can do a complete LS1 swap, but that includes backing plates, calipers, rotors, combination valve, and so on. The same would be true of the 89-97 set-up.

Thanks, I kinda screwed up the title, I tried to get back here and edit before anyone answered but you treed me lol.
My question is will the rotors that I listed in my original post fit a third gen?

Also any recommendations on calipers to go with said rotors would be appreciated.
