What year IROC did the rear come from?

That will help me answer some of your questions.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

its interesting actually because the vin says its an 84 v6 car, the VIN was swapped out for some unknown reason... im guessing 86-87, what difference(s) does it make?

So it is from a pre '89 car. That means that the rear you obtained is/was equipped with the Delco-Moraine cast iron calipers.

From what I have seen posted during the last two years (don't flame me) those calipers are not that desireable.

The '90-'92 rear caliper (PBR) setup on these rears is much more desireable.

I could be wrong, but that is the way it seems to me.


I recieve a great many emails from people wanting to know whrn my drum-to-disc (or early disc-to-late) conversion kit will be ready.

So I am simply going with the flow.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

The disk brakes made pre '89 aren't as good as the ones after, though I doubt they are any worse than the drum brakes so I wouldn't worry about it. I will be performing a similar procedure If I can get my hands on a disk rear.

i am not trying to be rude, and i do appreciate your advice on the quality of my rear, but that was not the nature of my question, i need to know if i need to make any adjustments to fit the rear in, as far as the e-brake and the brake lines go, thank you!!

No adjustments required. Everything should fit just fine.

Thanx,ANDYZ28
