Yep, thats my state, but I'm not into sports myself.
So how does it work that you keep the same rear axleshaft??
I assume a kit is avaliable for rear to do this?
I can get 1LE front spindles w/o problem

Like I said, you pull the axles out of the rear and change backing plates, reinstall the axles and bolt all the brake stuff off. Baer makes a kit for around $800, AndyZ28 offers one too for right around there, and there's others out there that can do them.
But again, there's probably better brakes out there. I just put together 13" x 1.1" C4 HD brakes for 3rd gens and they look great. I will have these on my RS by the weekend.

So you keep the same axle if you get the kit?
If I was able to get all the parts from wrecked cars, I would need to swap the shafts then. Alright, I think I got it figured out.
Time to make some green first

My Iroc's been sitting a while and all rotors are rusted like crazy. I'm gonna have to pull them off and sand or bead blast them clean and then paint them to keep them protected.
