I am confused. I went to the boneyard today to source/price all the parts to use with these brackets. I did not find any 94-97 Camaros with rear disc brakes....all of them were drum?? Were rear discs an option on these years? I did run across a 99 Camaro that had rear disc brakes, but did not pull the trigger because of the years you specified here.

Rear disc brakes were not standard equipment on the '93-'97 F-bodies. I believe they were typically found on the Z28's. The '99 Camaro has a different caliper and rotor than the '93-'97's.

The 93-97 was Z/28, Trans Am & Formula specific with it as an option on V-6 cars.

The 98-up stuff was on all the cars V-6 or V-8. Same for the front brakes. The rear on them uses an internal drum brake inside the brake rotor for the parking brake so the calipers are different with no provision for a mechanical parking brake in them. The rotor thickness is different too so they would need spacers to work on the thinner rotors the kit is designed around.

Received my brackets for the 93-97 Camaro brakes and they look great! Question about proportioning valve. I am replacing my M/C and Proportioning valve due to prior leakage. I bought a new M/C for 78 corvette and wonder if I should buy the proportioning valve for the same, go with stock proportioning valve or I did find one on ebay that says it will work for 67-87 trucks disk disk although they refused to answer my question when I asked if it would work for this application. If anyone else has done this swap with sucess input would be appreciated. Thanks

You can try the Vette prop valve, but you may or may not be happy with the brake bias. Anymore I recommend the Wilwood #260-11179. It already has an adjustable valve in the rear circuit, so you can adjust the rear brakes to how you like them.
