Rear brake Caliper location
Hello,
I am having the rear LS1 Brakes installed on my 82 Camaro. My question is on the location of the calipers. Are they facing the front or rear of the car? Does it matter if they are both on the rear? I have seen them both ways.
Thank you in advance,
Oscar
Edit: Found the L & R on the Mounts

Early rear disc calipers are clocked differently, but 89-97 calipers are positioned to the rear, LS1's to the front.

They are on the front, not the rear, but they are marked on the bacfking plates and the parking brake claw gets pulled from behind.
