disk brake rear end E brake
 
The ebrake on the formula works but not all that well. What has to be done to adjust this? I think it just needs to be tightened up a little

Adjustment is made near the middle of the car above the drive shaft. If that doesn't work (and I assume you have PBR's), check "free travel."

Easy enough to do:

Spohn and Ed Miller both may sell kits.

that doesn't seem like it would be to hard of a swap, better brakes are always a plus. especially the way i drive

EDIT: damn the 1le kit from sphon is $850 I think the LS1 brake kit from bigbrakeupgrade.com for $669 would be a better option now

I did the 1LE conversion, front and rear, before the bigger kits started appearing--I also wanted the calipers to match (yes, I'm anal). You may, however, find what your looking for on Ed's web site:

that site has a lot of good options for brake upgrades, thanks

that C6 Z06 kit looks nice, would give me a reason to get the 18" C6 wheels i have been looking at since i got the car
