D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

[Captainfab]

No, you cannot use the Impala SS rotors with these brackets and the D52 calipers. These are designed to be used with the Astro van rotors which are much thicker than the Impala rotors, and will be the same size as your front rotors. Why do you want to use the Impala SS rotors when they are lighter duty and more expensive than the Astro van rotors?

Allready purchased front & rear crossdrilled rotors w/ wilwoods in the front.Had the impala calipers planned for the rear but would much rather use the wilwoods in the rear also.I know the astro rotors are thicker where the pads ride but How thk. are they at the axle compared to the impala ones,I dont have any more back space left w/ the wheels i'm using. Do you know if we can get them cross drilled & zinc plated?

Any plans to work something up for the rear of the 88-98 trucks?

I have been considering it since there have been a few inquiries about brackets for those rear ends. I need to post up over there and see how many guys are interested and in which style.

The new Astro rotors that I have are .275" thick where they bolt up to the axle flanges. The Impala SS rotors are .245" thick, so only .030 thicker. A used set of Astro rotors that I have here have the stamped steel hat that is about .125" thick. However I don't know if that style is still available. Yes the Astro rotors are available cross drilled and zinc plated.
