PBR Rebuilds at autozone? Picture looks close.

Doing a search under a 88 chevy camaro with a 5.7 I came across these listed at autozones website.

Part # C364


http://www.autozone.com/R,APP956289/...ductDetail.htm

I know very little about the 1le brakes but they appear to match the pictures posted.

Are these a two piston design?

Will they fit a stock camaro? I know the 1le had to have different spindle.

Pic is of the 1LE alum dual piston front caliper. They won't fit an OE spindle without modification to the spindle. More about that in the following link should you be interested:

I was under the impression that all 1LE stuff had been discontinued.

I had a brain fart regarding replacement calipers.

Now looking at the pictures of the spindles in the article you linked to.
Where the two holes were drilled is that boss alread cast into them?


Thanks for the link lots of good info.

Calipers and pads are readily available, but GM has discontinued other parts, though they can be purchased from Spohn, a board sponsor (as a matter of fact I bought my fronts through his site--at a time when the 1LE's were the hot ticket) and perhaps Ed Miller (ebmiller88), resident brake guru. Concerning the boss, you're drilling and tapping two of the three holes that originally held the dust shield. I went with PBR rears to have a matched set:
