Doing rear disks

What are you guys doing to convert to rear discs? I searched for just a kit but I don't believe one exists... at least not from my research.

Thanks,
Nova70

Re: Doing rear disks

Re: Doing rear disks

I saw those but Camaro's are 5 lug. I have 6 lug and am going to be running an 8 lug shortly. Thanks for the comment though.

Re: Doing rear disks

Nova70, you really should put information like that in the original post. There are so many members here that no one could possibly remember what you are running....if they ever knew in the first place. Background information is always helpfull

Re: Doing rear disks

Sorry about that. I'm not trying to assume people know my stuff I just forget about all the 5 lugs.

Re: Doing rear disks

arent the newer chevy HD trucks running disc in the rear on their 3/4 tons? I wonder how hard it would be to fit one of those under our trucks?

Re: Doing rear disks

My 2000 Silverado 1/2 ton has rear disc brakes with 6 lug rotors. I may take some measurements and see how hard it would be to convert that setup to older trucks.
