They even came on the 6-cylinder cars of that era so they are pretty easy to find. I got a complete set with e-brake cables and the brake hard lines for under $100 on ebay. Since you are having the housing narrowed you can just have them put on the Strange small GM housing ends while they are at it so stock Chevy car brakes will bolt right on and you still get the press-on bearings & retainer plates.

You could turn a stock rotor into a bearing hub, drill it for 5 on 4-3/4 and use Vette or Camaro slip on rotors up front. Many size options from 12x1.25" on up. You could fab up a caliper mount bracket to use the matching PBR calipers up front or run the Wilwood D52 calipers at all four corners.

I was thinking about maybe upgrading my McGaughy F & R kits by using the 2010 SS Camaro/Brembo calipers. There 4 piston and I think I could build a bracket to work properly. :confused:

Getting the calipers to fit is easy....finding wheels that aren't from a 2010 Camaro to clear the calipers is going to be your bigger problem. The Camaro brakes need nearly as much caliper clearance as the Z06. Your best bet will be to try a 13" C4 96 Grandsport front rotor.....

Niped- Have you read this post? "Just bought some calipers, any ideas if I can make them fit?"


Have you been able to determine what the OEM application is for the front caliper? I know it's late model GM, just don't know what. If you can find the intended application, it's possible that one of the aftermarket suppliers offers a larger caliper as a direct replacement.
