Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
Are those calipers the same PBR calipers found on Camaros and Corvettes?

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
i'm very interested in hearing more about this "custom backing plate" as i'd rather use the ss calipers rather than the wimpy s-10 ones.

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
According to CarPArts.com the corvette and the camaro have a different part number then the Impala SS ... Now this is not 100% but it would lead me to believe that they are different...

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
Here are some pictures of the backing plate I made. I also attached a drawing of the bracket with specs. This setup does not have a E-Brake because it's built into the stock backing plate. If you want a E-brake you can use the Camaro caliper as it has the E-Brake built into it.

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
Did you have to modify the the axles or discs? What master cylinder are you using. It seems like most of the braking action with the stock brakes is in the front. Is there a noticeable difference in braking with the rear discs.

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??

Re: Who has Impala SS rear disc brakes ??
Using a line lock for the parking brake?
The impala caliper brackets look like they will fit an old school 10B. I want a mechanical parking brake. Yours is a 12B, right? Last edited by FormerMember; 12-02-2005 at 10:20 PM. |
