Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
That bracket is on the end of the trailing arm and where the adjustable track bar mounts

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Mother of god......I don't know how I've never seen this before with all my years on the board, but I am so glad I finally did!!!! I'm in the middle of a full repaint on my '98 but the rear brakes are next on the list after paint. Thank you for offering these!!!

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I do not yet make any rear disc brackets for the '88-'98 trucks. I keep hoping to find the time to work on those, but with working 70-80 hrs a week every week, time is scarce. Does your truck have the 8.5" 10 bolt or the 9.5" 14 bolt?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
How do these calipers adjust the parking brake for pad wear?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I just assumed they had some sort of internal ratcheting mechanism. Did you use new/rebuilt calipers or used?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
They are rebuilt. The design does not have a ratchet. The Camero did though, have a ratchet built into the handle. But I'm unsure if this was to adjust the parking brake or simply keep the cables tight.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Has anyone successfully tested this on a running truck? How's the P brake hold?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but what is everybody using these rear brakes using for a proportioning valve? I would really like to avoid using an adjustable one if at all possible.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I do not know if there are any differences in the brake bias with the aftermarket fixed disc/disc proportioning valves.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I had interference with the e-brake lever arm on the caliper and the bottom of the back of the trailing arm. SO I installed these facing forward. But now I am putting airbags in the rear and the e-brake cable will interfere with the bag.
The main problem is the big rubber bushing that's on the e-brake lever arm. I don't know what that is for - harmonic dampening? Any suggestions? |

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I replied to your PM from early this morning. I only have time to log onto the forum once a day, in the evenings after I get home.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
After reading through this entire thread it's not clear -- has anyone found calipers that include the bracket and e-brake setup? Rock Auto has excellent deals but not all of their products have pics, so it's hard to say whether this stuff is included.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I'd rather find a new or reman set, never know what you're going to get with used calipers! On the other hand there could be useful connectors to be had along with the salvaged calipers...

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
That's why I went the salvage route, so I would have all the e-brake hardware. Because like you when I went looking for the calipers at auto parts stores I had a hard time determining if they came with all the hardware needed for the e-brake. The calipers i found from a salvage yard looked good so I tried them out and they are working great. If you don't want to chance it just pick up a set and use them as a core at a auto parts store. That's what I was going to do.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Is there a writeup on this site of the install of these brackets wirth capipers, lines etc? I'm kind of far out still but want to make sure I know what I'm doing and have the parts before I begin.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I do not have an installation thread but one of my many customers may have something in their build threads.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
CaptainFab do you know if any of the 94-96 B body rear calipers will work? I think the buick roadmaster was basically the same car and could probably get those cheaper at a salvage yard vs camaro or impala parts.
Edit!! I stand corrected. The 94-96 roadmasters did not have rear disc brakes .
