Drum to disc swap? - Camaro rear end
Any leads on what is needed to swap my drums to discs on my 2nd Gen Camaro 10bolt rear?
The drums aren't going to cut it for my project |

Check Summit Racing. They have kits for that.

Speedway also sells kits this one has no "E" brake, but they also offer one with "E" brake...Jim http://www.speedwaymotors.com/GM-75-...Kit,14021.html

Be very careful about the calipers with the E brake function. I've had zero luck making them actually function with the Lokar E brake. Doesn't have enough travel + those brakes are hard to adjust and keep adjusted on a specialty car, at least in my experience. I'll NEVER buy those calipers again. Instead, I'll spend the extra bucks and get the system that has the drum style E brake in the rotor when I do the 9" in my 55.

I used 98-02 f-body rear discs. 12" rotor with dual piston aluminum calipers and drum style ebrakes. You just have to mount them on opposite sides as the car they come on and it should bolt up. It did for me on my '77 nova 10-bolt

Thanks speedbump I'll keep that in mind.
1TonFun, we're the brackets a direct bolt on application after swapping sides or is there more to it? |
