Rear Backing Plates

I can't seem to get any responses, but I am definitely in need of some rear backing plates. I just came across some rear 89' PBR calipers, and I am piecing together a rear braking. If anyone has any info on getting some backing plates, please PM me.

Andy's seem quite expensive, I'm trying to do this on the cheap. I rather like Ed's backing plates but I can't get a response from him, so I'm kind of dead in the water with my upgrade.

Re: Rear Backing Plates

I had a death in my family so I've been away from the boards for a bit. I do have the plates for you, rather affordable, and I'll get back to your PM as soon as I can. I have 160 in my inbox to get to and e-mails as well. I apologize for the delay but I'm sure you understand.

Re: Rear Backing Plates

I bought mine from the GM Dealer when I did mine 4 years ago. I suspect that they still sell them. I'll look to see if I still have the part numbers. I think I got the info from JamesC.

Re: Rear Backing Plates

I checked on that when I purchased the rebuild kit for the rear calipers at the dealer. Part number has been discontinued.

Re: Rear Backing Plates

Correct, all 3rd gen disc backing plates are now discontinued from GM. I do have a few OEM plate sets on hand as well as my own custom pieces (stock to 13" rear rotor size) that work the same and will cost you less.
