Police car brakes!!!

Hey Guys,

I have a friend with a 89 caprice police car. Will the brakes off the car work on my 90 IROC???? If so what all do I need to swap to make them work.

Thanks Mark

Your probably confusing the popular B-body swap for G-bodies. The caprice, cop car spindles fit right on G-bodies with a shortened upper control arm, this gave you bigger 12" rotors and bigger calipers and rotors. It also gave you a much better camber curve although bump steer gets pretty bad.......any way the rotors and calipers only work on B-body spindles so no it won't work on your 3rd gen.
