1994-1996 caprice brakes

Hey guys wondering if anyone has ever used 1994-1996 9C1 cop car (caprice) or Impala SS rear brakes , they are 5x5 bolt pattern and 12.5 rotors. I have owned several of these cars and thought I could use the brakes off the rear end for my 79 c-10.

I am pretty sure this is the rotor that everyone is using with their camaro calipers. A member on here makes brackets and are right around $150 I think... dont hold me to it though

This is a common mod. There is a board member that sells the brackets.

Yes, in that case you would go with the impala calipers and the brackets from the board member mentioned above. The impala calipers don't have an integrated ebrake, the camaro ones do.

I asked him about the impala brackets and he told me that they were not as popular anymore and he didnt plan on cutting anymore soon..
