Hey guys I was wondering how everyone with the LS1 rear disc brake setups are installing the calipers? Caliper towards the front of the car or to the rear of the car? I have a 69 camaro with a stock 10 bolt,mini tub,leaf springs and 335s.They are installed on the LS1 cars towards the front of the car.Which way makes more sense?
Thanks in advance.

MOunt the clipers with the bleeder valve up. This allowing air to rise and exit.

I mounted mine with the calipers to the rear to make the ebrake front pull. But, I have a G-Bar which eliminated interference between the shocks and ebrake cables.

ya I mounted the calipers towards the rear so the parking brake can pull....makes more sense this way to me.
