4th gen rear conversion complete
Just got my rear out of a 94 z28 in. The only problem I had was that the bolts that bolt the caliper to the axle assembly were to short and i had to buy longer ones other than that everything went well. Also if anyone is interested in this swap take into accont that your wheel really do stick out 2 more inches so if you lower your car it may rub the tires when you hit a bump on the free way.

. Not really much of a conversion as it all bolts right in. And don't do the swap and use the stock thirdgen wheels, it just feeds the mu11et stereotype.

- well, it's not too bad if you're running the 16" Iroc or GTA wheels. Then they atleast stay under the car.

Yeah it was pretty much a direct bolt on, pretty easy next is the five speed swap since I just upgraded from 2.77 gears to 3.23's.Now I am looking for a set of fourth gen zr1 wheels since my back tires stick out so far. I will post some picks this weekend.
