Anyone figured up how much a complete kit would cost?

These brackets utilize the '94-'96 Impala/Caprice rotors and the '93-'97 F-body calipers which have a built in e-brake.

The total cost will partly depend on if you can source your caliper cores for less than the core charge when purchasing rebuilt calipers. Tha calipers are your biggest single expense with this conversion. The best price I have found is from CSK/Oreilly's for the loaded calipers they are $127.00 pus a core charge of $31.50

I bought my calipers from ls1tech.com guys are parting out cars and sometimes can get a good deal. i bought the calipers with brake lines and cables for 70 bucks shipped. All I need are shoes. Not too bad I thought!!

Thanks for the tip Robert, that's good to know.

I imagine another good source for used would be http://www.car-part.com

Just a question on these. Will it fit inside a 15in wheel with no problems?

**Captainfab** · 02-03-2010, 12:37 AM

I don't know for certain, but I would think 15's would fit. The rotors are less than 12 inch. If someone that has installed a set doesn't chime in here, I'll bolt up a wheel on my mockup. Which wheels do you have, stock or aftermarket?

Im assuming that the calipers are the rears off a f body as well as the impala rotors are the rears just trying to get a parts list together here

**Captainfab** · 03-13-2010, 01:21 AM

That is correct. The rear calipers from '94-'97 F-body and the rear rotors from a '93-'96 Impala/Caprice. I'm working on a parts list for this installation.

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.

**Captainfab** · 12-10-2012, 12:53 AM

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.
