What do you plan on running for back brakes. I notice 4 disks sitting on the shop floor there and no drum brake plate on the diff.

I'm in the process of trying to put together a kit using 10-15 camaro ss brembos. I have the rotors to machine to the right hub bore and bolt pattern but found that srt8 jeep rotors would probably actually be a better route. I got the camaro rotors for next to nothing so not out a whole lot. Right now I'm trying to find someone who will sell me just the hubs for the front out of a big brake kit.

Hmm I wonder if it's not the original axle then. I don't really know about rear ends and gear ratios. I looked up on the internet how to figure it out and did the rotor the tire and count the driveshaft rotations and it was about 2 3/4.
