Rear Disk conversion kits ..?

I know of a few out there
Like .... http://www.ssbrakes.com/

but $675 is a little steep "looks like a nice kit though"

dont get me wrong I'm not looking for cheep stuff...jut wasn't looking for $675 more like 350-400 range, possibly a little more depending

Are there any good rear disk kit's out there that aren't too much$$ "[did search=nothing useful]"

Thanks for any info

Check out this link:

https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...reardisc.shtml

It looks like it is fairly inexpensive, especially considering that you will end up with better rear brakes than any factory setups that were offered on the thirdgen platform.

I got my LS1 brakes shipped to me from http://www.tacreationsusa.com/

Try them and other major Camaro/Firebird salvage yards. Also check the classifieds. Finding them yourself in the junk yard is a bit harder.

there are a few yards you could get the parts from.

Try Billy Graham for starters.

I was at a yard close to me last week and saw both a 93 Z28 auto with a disc and a 97 T/A M6 with a disc. This yard wanted around $600 for them. Yesterday, a 3.42 4th gen posi rear went on ebay for under $100. FYI...


They're out there, keep looking guys..

For $350-400 you can find a thirdgen rear end with disc brakes, you just have to look.

Or you can bring your car down to Orange County and have my dad change over your drum rear end to discs. He figured out how.
