hey whatsup,
I have a stock rear end in my 87 camaro and i have drum brakes and i was wondering if i do the 4th gen rear install with the disc brakes what will i need to do to set up the brakes? I dont know much about rear ends or brakes so im looking for as much help as i can get.

Thank you,
Nick

 

If you use the brakes from a 93-97 you can use third gen(89-92) parking brake cables.
If you opt for the LS1 style then you are on your own to figure out the cable issue. You will also need a third gen proportioning valve for a rear disk car.

 

Or you could modify the axel flanges on your 87, then use 89-97 PBR's. As bingo points out, the e-brake wouldn't be an issue with that set-up. FYI, the fourth gen rear is 4 inches wider.

Here's the idea behind the axel flange mod:

Once that's done, here the PBR set-up:
