Summit rear disc conversion kit
Is the axle flange on the 1971-96 caprice/impala the same as the 12 bolt truck flange? I was looking at the summit catalog today and they have a rear disc brake conversion kit that has a 5x5 bolt pattern. The description says:
Disc Brake, Rear, 11.30 in. Diameter Rotors, 1-Piston Calipers, Parking Brake, Chevy, Caprice/Impala, Kit The instructions also say its for a 10/12 bolt. So I'm thinking unless the flange is different, this should work. It caught my eye because it is the least expensive kit I've seen to date at $479.00 Here is the link.

There are two on performanceonline.com, one is $419 and the other is $449. The more expensive one caught my eye because the ebrake is hidden under the rotor. Justin, thanks, I will contact you. josh |

In case anyone is interested here is a pic of the exact brake kit except this is With the e-brake. retail on this kit is like $599.00 I believe. I can go as low $575.00 on them, but I don't have a ton of room. on the same kit from Summit which is without e-brake I can go $475.00. I know it's more than Summit, but to them it's just a loss leader. So they are losing on that kit in hopes that you buy other stuff.

Re: Summit rear disc conversion kit
Could you source cross drilled rotors to use with that kit? If so, how much more?

Re: Summit rear disc conversion kit
I did a search a few months ago when I was hunting disk brake pieces for the Dana 60 in my 71 GMC 3/4 ton and found this site which leads to a lot of others.
