hey guys, i purchased a rear end off a 99 ss camaro last night and it has drilled and slotted rotors, pbr calipers and 4:11 richmond posi unit on it for $300... rotors and calipers are about the only terms i know regarding brakes if that give you an idea of my knowledge lol I'm reading the stickies but i don't even know what some of the stuff means in them so I'm not exactly getting anywhere.

what do i have to do to make the front brakes look like the back brakes?
could i just get the rotors and calipers from a 99ss camaro and use those?

i have not bough wheel for this build yet so i can buy any offset needed if that helps in the "how to" on this.

please help and sorry if this is a redundant question.

thanks
brian

 

The brakes are LS1's. A front kit is available from the following site:

http://www.flynbye.com/

Many members have gone the LS1 route, so a search should provide a ton of info concerning the swap.

thanks james. ya i'm doing some reading to try to get up to speed on brakes so i better understand. i hate asking questions that should be basic knowledge but sometimes people can explain things in way that just clicks. anyway thanks a ton for the link.

wow there stuff isn't cheap theres no do it yours type stuff with junk yard/ebay parts.. just asking

 

With the info. thats on this and other websites helped me up grade my car to ls1 brakes on the front for around 350.00 buts thats doing alot of it yourself. The price of the LS1 brakes on flynbye's or bigbrakeupgrade isn't bad for the work thats needed to get them to work.

 

350 is bitable lol i dont mind doing the work myself. iv been reading and searching all day so i guess if i can gain the knowledge to do it i will... if not i'll just buy a kit

 

Look up this web site http://lukeskaff.com/?page_id=329

 

lol ya i went to that site about 20 minutes ago. i'm going to read through it.

thanks

 

Personally, I wouldn't bother waiting for Eb to complete your kit. Check this guy out: www.bigbrakeupgrade.comp. He did my spindle mods for my C5?GTO upgrade. i got them fast and the work was nothing short of amazing.

 

Thanks for the heads up but i have a guy locally thats going to do it for me for about $250
