Affordable Rear Disc Brake Kit Help
Hey guys,
I'm wanting to upgrade my rear drum brakes to rear disc. I need help finding an affordable place to buy a kit. I will be wanting a kit WITH e-brake cables. Feedback appreciated! |

Re: Affordable Rear Disc Brake Kit Help
Yep, I have used CaptianFab brackets on two different trucks. Since I converted both to 5 lug, it uses the PBR style Camaro rear brake calipers, which has a good e-brake system, unlike a lot of other companies who use the Cadillac calipers which has a horrible e-brake system. I haven't done a 6 lug rear end so not sure which calipers they use.

Re: Affordable Rear Disc Brake Kit Help
The Cadillac/Trans Am e brake is fine, IF you use it every time. It relies on regular use to stay adjusted. Since most people didn't do that, they got a bad rep. I have a couple of them at my place. I also have the CaptainFab style OEM on my 96 Impala SS.

Re: Affordable Rear Disc Brake Kit Help
Hey guys,
Got a question for the group... I've been researching different kits and parts. And it seems that I do not know the center bore diameter of my axel. I guess I would need to take off my rim and measure it. Does anyone know what diameter it is off hand? Thanks!! |
