69 Camaro Rear Brake Conversion with Mini Tub Kit
My camaro has rear drum brakes; I would like to convert to disc brakes.
Details: My current rear set up has a dse mini tub kit installed, complete with offset shackles, rear crossmember support for shocks to be repositioned inside of the leaf spring. The leaf springs have a 2" drop. A DSE narrowed gas tank is also installed. I have a 12 bolt rear with posi. I have not removed the back casing to see whether it has a C clip eliminator. Question: I am looking at different options from wilwood to american brand conversion kits. I do need to have the parking brake, and want to know the following. 1. do I need to have a disc brake with a drum combo to accommodate the parking brake? Brakes seen here http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...o=140-11398-DR 1a. Does installing this add more of a positive wheel offset, adding more back spacing by pushing the brake assembly further out towards the street? 1b. Does installing this kit give me everything I need to convert from drum to disc, appears the calliper attaches to the drum assembly (Refer to image below). 2. I assume that since I have the DSC mini tub kit installed, I do not have to worry about staggered shocks? 3. This is an example of the american brand rear brakes. Will these accommodate a parking brake (i assume no?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-10-12-Bo...BSw3Iw&vxp=mtr 4. Lastly, I have not fully decided whether I want narrow my rear end (to accommodate larger rear tires), and if I do, does that change anything with the install of which conversion kit i use. http://www.wilwood.com/Images/BrakeK...-DR_kit-lg.jpg |
My bird is mini tubbed has the stock LS1 F-body rear brakes 12"x1" rotors no need to worry about shock stagger and they bolt on 10-12 bolt housing ends I didn't use a spacer like some say are needed to center the rotor in the caliper.
biggest issues were figuring out parking brake cables and adapting the brake lines simple cheap and effective |
