Fourth gen rear axle swap
Will the rear disc brakes on a 4th gen camaro or firebird fit inside of my 1985 firebird 15" wheels? I currently have drums in the rear.
Would it all just be bolt in? I know most things are between 3rd and fourth gen, but i wasn't sure about the entire rear axle assembly.

I have 15" Firebird wheels on a 1995 Firehawk rear axle & no problems with fitting. A 98+ rear has bigger discs so they may not fit a 98+.
