I just found an 86 camaro iroc with a 305 tpi and it has 4 wheel disk, how common are these on our cars? and also the guy wants $300 for it is that a good price? or can i pull one out of a yard cheaper?

 

Not very uncommon. But are you saying $300 for the whole car? Even a pretty dead car is a good parts car at that price. If you can get in, turn the key & drive home...That is a great price.

 

Common enough. Price? Is the rear a 9- or 10-bolt? Limited slip or open? What's the gear ratio? All questions that may determine what you're willing to spend (though $300 seems steep).

no $300 for just the rear end.

 

i just emailed him the other questions. when i get a reply ill post them on here.

 

A bit steep for a 9-bolt. Even steeper for a 10-bolt.

 

all i know is its factory, anyone know what i can pick these up for from a yard? even out of a fourthgen?

 

All the 4th gen rears will be 10-bolt rears & about 2" wider, per side, for a total of 4" wider.

If you go the 4th gen rear route, get a LS1/98-02. They are a hair narrower than the LT1 rears, the rotors are bigger, the calipers better. The 93-97 rotors are the same size as a late 3rd gen rotor & calipers are only a little better than the 3rd gen calipers.

CORRECTION: I think the LT1/93-97 calipers are identical, but its the center section that is a little better than the 3rd gen ones.

 

actually hard to get? now so you better or some street rodder will they are why so hard to find cheap disc

 

not to mention not hardly any salvage yards left everybodys gone to crushing asap around here , scrap is high 12.00 / 100 highest ever.

 

ok, ill start shopping around, thats stephen....88gta, i cant understand what your trying to tell me, can you please re word that?

 

is it smarter to go the 4'th gen route or the 3rd gen route? from what iv read they all just bolt on meaning no modification?

 

The fourthgen rear is no stronger than a thirdgen (10-bolt) with 28-spline axles. 89-97 cars essentially have the same brake set-up. While the fourthgen rear will bolt in, like the thirdgen rear, there are other considerations, such as parking brake, speedo gears, and combination valve. Check the following FAQ for more details:

ok, thanks james.

 

buy it you wont get next time cause how many you seen local forsale 3rd gen now getting hard to find

 

thats true but as james said i can always get one for a forthgen for cheaper, $300 for jsut a rear end is kinda steep for me since i only paid $250 for the car.
