Where do you get lt1 rear brakes??

I need a set of lt1 rear brakes for my new rear end. I really dont want to buy them new from an autoparts store, tried calling some junkyards in the area and tried ebay and some forums. I cant find a single thing. Anyone know of a place??

Any particular reason? The 89-92 PBR's are essentially the same, so that might provide more choices. Try ebmiller88 for either. I suspect he'll have what you need.

The brackets on the housing ends were made for 93-97 calipers

According to Ed Miller, other than a vibration dampener, the 4th gen LT1 calipers are identical to 3rd gen '89-92 PBR calipers. And since the calipers are the same, the carriers are also the same. Sorry if I've missed something obvious.

There's only minor differences and I have what you'll need, LMK.
