Brake part sourcing and info needed

[GeoffP]

I am going to go wander around the pull-a-part in Augusta on Friday to see what I can find brake parts wise for my 68 Camaro. It's currently 4 wheel drum (re: SCARRY trying to stop at highway speeds). I am trying to find info on what brake setups work with stock drum spindles. I already know the hubs will have to be milled down. This is not a problem since I have access to a brake lathe at work to mill the hubs. What I do need to know is p/n for wheel studs and which rotor produces the LEAST amount of additional offset over the drum system. I have the LS1 style brakes on my 87 IROC and can confirm that the LS1 98-02 rotor adds around 1/4 in. offset. Since I am already having problems with the front right bottoming out on the outer edge of the wheel well (it's not hitting the fender thankfully), I don't want to add anymore offset than necessary to the front. What cars can I source parts from? I think 98+ S-10 Blazers and 4 wheel disc S-10 trucks will work for the rear, 89-02 F-body for the rear (Yes, I know they used 2 different brake systems, changing between 97 and 98 on the rear). I have a spare set of brackets for an 89-97 rear setup, so that would get me around the staggered shock issue. Rears are not so much an issue as the front since I can live with rear drums for awhile if necessary. The fronts are important to me to get updated with something, the cheaper the better without being more of an issue that the existing drum system. Having said all this, does anyone know the thickness of a C4 rotor at the flange (not actual rotor thickness), same for C5, and any other options I "may" have. I really don't want to put original style brakes on it since they would just get replaced later if I can avoid it (don't want to spend money twice and get left with selling the "patched" setup later). I am open to suggestions and need all the help I can get. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the reply. I found that site already. I am thinking of going with the hybrid setup like what is listed on SpeedTech's site, thinking the flange thickness of the C4 rotor is less than C5. Plus, I'll be able to reuse the caliper's and abutments should I decide to change to ATS AFX spindles later (obviously with a rotor change). I was hoping someone would chime in with some flange thicknesses so I wouldn't have to guinea pig it myself. Thanks again!
