Could you please pm or email me prices for you bracket. Also kit prices. My 87 Z28 came with limited slip & 3.43's.

 

I'm working on PMs tonight so I should be able to make some good progress and will get to you soon.

Ed

 

i have a 92 ws6 ta convert with rear drums and i want rear disc
so is this the easy and cheapest way to do that?

also can i get a price on a kit (with everything i need that i can't reused on my car now) thanks

 

Did I get back to you? If I did I didn't track it in my sent folder...LMK

 

If you want to keep your current rearend gear ratio, this is the best solution. If you want to upgrade gears as well as brakes I'd look into getting a whole rear but good third gen rears along with PBR disc brakes are getting impossible to find.

I'll PM you on kit info.

Ed

 

what is PBR and if i went with a whole rear upgrade what years should i look at

 

PBR makes a load of calipers for many cars:

With these plates you can fit the good rear discs from '89-97. You can also swap to '98-02 LS1 rears but they're a bit different and won't work with these plates.

Ed

 

How much for kit

 

Can I just get these backing plates from an 89-97 f-body at a junkyard? I thought 89-97 had the rectangle flange instead of square like ls1?

 

Not the drum rears, just the disc rears. These are not stock plates.

Ed

 

so stock backing plates from a disc rear will not work on my rectangle flange El Camino?

 

Long post lost.
11.6 or 12" rear rotors are plenty big.
I used to lock up the rear PBRs on stock discs every lap when racing, but 12" or 13" fronts w PBRs or C5 calipers is the way to go!!

A good track or combo pad will make a world of difference in brake performance.
I won't ever go back to stock or greenstuff type pads even for street use in my F Body

hit up Jeff at speedtoys,com for pad applications and discounts, (I get the same brodeal as you, tell him I referred you.

They may be slightly off but I think they will. Once I get the rear out of my '70 RS I'll have plates for some of the older cars as well.

Ed

 

I'm interested in converting my drum brakes in the back to disks...Can you PM me prices? Thanks!

 

EBMILLER can you PM me or email me i have your brackets for the 9bolt off.

 

In case I can't make stock plates work, can you PM me prices as well?

 

Please PM me prices

 

PMs sent..thanks all.

Ed

 

hate to be a bother and add to your never ending list of PMs but could you send me some price info if i wanted to do a full kit for my 89 RS? like brakets rotors calipers lines brake cables etc???

Thanks

 

hey thanks, I got the pm, bua couple of questions:


can I get PBR (J65?) brakes from a v6, or is it just a certain model?

oh, and will the backing plates for 9 and 10 bolt be the same? or are they all 10 bolt that have pbrs?

thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

 

V6 cars didn't get rear discs, only the Z28s/ higher end models got them.

9 and 10 bolt disc plates are dimentionally the same but will have a different bolt pattern, I have plates for both. All drum plates will be the same either way. The '89 9 bolts were the only 9 bolts to get PBRs, all rear discs from '89-92 got the PBRs, both 9 and 10 bolt.

Ed

 

one more question, does it make a difference whether the caliper is behind or in front of the rotor? I was wondering if I could use these plates on opposite sides putting the caliper in front in case I have shock clearance issues as with LS1 brakes.

 

yes you can.

Ed

 

Ed could I get a price on yor plates too. Will they work with the rotors and calipers off the 93 - 97 on the third gen camaro? Also which e-brake cables do you have to get 82-92 or 93 - 97? I have a friend that has a complete 94 rear I could get for brake parts.

 

PM sent..the '93-97 rear discs will bolt right up. You will need to use 3rd gen brake cables for your car and rear discs.

Ed

 

any info on that kit i asked about?

 

Well, after some research it appears I will have shock interference with my g-body. I need to find a relocation bracket if I use this setup. I'll post back in a few days.

 

Do you have staggerd shocks or something? Can you use two same side calipers, depending on where your interference is?

Ed

PMd you.

I was ready to go ahead and order these, but noticed something else. how does this kit accomodate the step in the mounting flange? wouldn't the conversion plate bend when tightened down?

 

Washers are supplied to fill in that gap, problem solved. Thanks, Ed.

 

Ed,
Could you please PM me some prices for some front kits and rear kits and possibly what all options I have. I have a 92 RS ( stock as of now).

Thanks in advance, Z

 

alright, I'll get a check in the mail. thanks

 

Hi Ed....

I know the thread is for 1LE/LT1. I have a 1995 Camaro V6 3.4L. I was wondering if there was any rear disc conversions for my Camaro?

PM sent Ed.......

Thanks,
Nancy

 

PM sent Ed.

 

Yes I do, I'll PM you and the others as well...thanks!

Ed

 

What gears do you currently have? I don't want to dissuade you from anything that Ed has to offer, but you might consider looking for a complete 4th gen LT1 rear (3.23 for some autos or 3.42 for some manual transmissions) and grab the proportioning valve and e-brake cables off the car as well. This would be a direct swap and you'd get the added benefit of the possible higher gear ratio. Or sell your car and buy an TPI/LT1/LS1 Just my

 

A agree..a rearend swap may be the ticket for you if you can find one close. I just sold a 3.23 4th gen rear and I still have a 2.73 posi disc rear but I'll assume you'll want better gearing than that one.

Ed

 

Order sent via PayPal. Check PM for details. Thanks

 

how much for the 2.73 posi disc rear

 

I have a pending local sale but if it falls through I'll get back to you via PM.

Ed

 

I just PMed you.

I scored a 3.23 Posi Drum rear end for my Firebird, and this looks to be the ticket for rear discs.

Thanks man!

 

Good deal. Since drum rears are very cheap finding one with good gears and posis will be the way to go.

Ed

 

Hi, I got a 90 RS with rear drums, just want to upgrade them at this time, can I get a price quote? thanks.

 

ok heres my question. Im swapping from a 9bolt 3.27 rear with the non-PBR Brakes, to a 4th gen LT1 rear, do I need to change the proportioning valve? also can I get a price on a parking brake cable?

 

Will the plate that the caliper bolts to from an lt1 bolt to an82-88 rear discs axle

 

PM sent for pricing. Thanks!

 

I actually have a 4th Gen F-body, a 93 Camaro V6, but this should still work, right? I'm not looking to upgrade the gears or put in posi or anything, just yet. Its my wife's car, and she wants rear disc. Anyway, I was wondering if you could PM me prices for just the bracket and also for the whole kit. Thanks!

 

Ed, relatively new to the board but I like what I've seen thus far, if possible could you shoot me a pm w/pricing info on the complete kit for a 91 rs w/rear drums (ttop if it matters) not sure on the gearing ratio yet.
