C7 barkes on IROC

The folks over @ Big Brake Upgrade are hopefully going to be producing a new steering knuckle that will allow a variety of Chevy calipers to be added to your 3rd Gen Camaro. If this comes to be it will make it far easier for better brake systems to be installed with out any machine work to your existing steering knuckles. I believe if enough interest is shown in these pieces it might just speed development of these new steering knuckles that would be welcomed with open arms by the 82 to 92 F body aficionados. I have no monetary interest in these pieces, but sure would like to see them becoming available ASAP.

I'd buy those in a heartbeat if they produce them. I'd love to have a new set with rack and pinion knuckles

I would go over to the linked website and post your idea up. The more folks interested in the new designed steering knuckle might just be the catalyst needed to make it happen. Sure make things a lot easier as you could also add the C7 hub, rotors and calipers to have a first class brake setup. The prototype steering knuckle does look a lot stronger then the original GM piece. Sure make a 3rd Gen stop on a dime.
