Dana 44 brake kit
I got a replacement dana 44 going in place of my drum 10 bolt. Does anyone know of a bolt in brake kit for everything? Will everything from a 10 bolt disc fit? Need mounts, backing plates, ect. I'd like to fit in the stock 16 inch wheels
Thanks
Thanks

Post a photo of the flanges.
Ideally, the 10-bolt PBR system will go on, somehow. It's not hard to find those, specifically on 93-97 Camaro/Firebird V8 cars. For that matter the 98-02 system might even bolt up.
If you're thinking about the crappy 82-88 Saginaw crap disc brakes, you're probably better off driving around with no rear brakes whatsoever... less dead weight that way.

Been there done that.. Swap out the caliper backing/mounting plates.. That is all that needs to be done in order to bolt up 93-97 calipers and rotors on it. Just sold a complete set up With my old Dana 44 rear, You will need to replace axle bearings and seals to do this. I still have an extra set of the correct retro- fit backing plates. PM me if you are interested in them. Stock wheels will fit great the PBR calipers actually work Like Sofa said the the Saginaw brakes are junk

I put a d44 in place of the factory 10bolt in my 92 formula a couple of yrs ago, I don't remember modifying the backing plates at all.
