i got a currie 9 inch rear with drum brakes goin on my iroc..i got a show winning car with snyper wheels on it...i dont want drums at all in the back its still a street car that handles like its on rails...i want to do vette brakes all around...but if i cant...do they make kits or brakets for like ls1 brakes or anything big that fits a ford 9 inch from currie...any help would be awsome...thanx guys.

I'm not sure if this helpful or not, but I installed a rear disk set up from the 98-02 ls1 t/a on a moser 9" on my camaro. It was pretty much a bolt on besides having to have the bearings pressed off the axle's to be able to install the backing plates for the calipers

You can swap to LT1/1LE rears with no issues like this:

Or do the mods to the axle flanges and install LS1s like this:

its a ford 9 inch rear that the guy has with drum brakes....i have disks on my car now with the stock gm rear, will the stock brakes from my rear bolt up to the ford 9 inch rear or no, cuz the guy has drums on his, if i can swap my stock brakes on the rear for now that would be great, i just dont know if they will fit or not....

Chances are they're Ford brakes so... what you have will not bolt up as is.

Two thoughts...

Currie makes brackets for the 9" for GM disc brakes. I think the ones they sell are for mounting '89-'92 or '93-'97? style brakes. Your axle may not have the right offsets and stuff to work, but they can help you through whether or not they have something that will work.

The other thought is that for a fairly easy install you could call Baer Brakes. With a few measurements they should be able to provide you with brakes that will bolt right on.

As with any 9" axle the axle shaft itself is retained by the bearing. Typically the bearing is retained by the brake backing plate. Most likely you will have to remove your wheel bearings and press on new ones when you change your brakes. It isn't a big deal, but it is something to remember.

yeah still dont know if the ends are ford or gm on the rear...bummer

Look at your rear drums and see if they are dual pattern. If they are Ford drums then they will have another pattern, probably 5 on 4.5", and have been redrilled for the GM 5 on 4.75" pattern.

It isn't as good as looking at the bolt pattern on the axle housing. All it takes it to pull a wheel and a drum to see. That shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to check out.

yeah i would i dont have the rear here with me yet its at a garage in deer park which is 30 mins away...but when i get it...ill take a pek...but he says its most liely ford, what do i do about getting disck brake then...im doing z06 in front cant have anything funny lookin out back...any ideas...

you'd have to figure out what housing end you have, so you'd have to measure it and compare with both axles out and make a diagram with it. Secondly, strange, baer, wilwood, etc all make disc brake setups for 9" rears. Hop onto moser's, currie's, or strange's websites and look at their brake options.
