Impala SS Rear Disc Brake Brackets

What front set up matches the ss caliper?

The Camaro or Impala's front calipers would match, but I don't know how you would mount them to the spindles on your truck. The biggest issue would be the thicker rotor on the trucks. The aftermarket might be the option for that. I'll have to do some looking and see if there is an OEM caliper that would work.

I have one set of these brackets left......I'll throw in a pair of Metric to SAE line adapters for free with this last set.

Capt....please check your PM's as I am interested.

I'm also curious to know what the diameter of the impala rotor is? Can you get me a measurement from the center of the axle to the highest point on the caliper? My wheel has a 7 inch backspacing so fitment is going to be close depending on the dimensions. Thanks in advance

Right now I only have one set left and Outlaw72 gets first dibs, so if this setup won't work for him, you're next in line. If I could get 2 or 3 more sets sold, I'd make some more.

The 98 to 2002 Camaro front caliper is on a 1.25" thick 12" diameter rotor so it would work on the same thickness truck rotor.

The guys on thirdgen.org have worked out ways of putting these PBR calipers onto their spindles that have cast in caliper mount bosses which could be adapted for use on our trucks too.

This caliper could be used on the 14-bolt rear disc conversion that uses the Dana-44 front rotors if you didn't need an e-brake.

Just a FYI GM used same prop valve for the Disc/Drum B-body they used it on the Disc/Disc B-body. Only 9c1 and SS had rear disc not Roadmasters.

Thanks for the info on that. I'll check into that when i get a chance. My son has a 2000 Z28 so that will make it easy.
