Default Guys I wanna run gen 4 camaro brakes what am I missing

Guys look I know this has been beat to hell most likely, I know I have even talked about it but I am hoping to get the answer quickly instead of having this take a long time to get the answers I need. Here is what I have, generation 4 98-02 v8 brake calipers and rotors from and rear, a 98-02 rear end for backing plates ( still gotta take those off), russel brake lines from summit part number 692280, machined drum hubs for the front, front brackets and rear spacers ( I was told aia needed some spacers for my axle). I guess my question is what am I missing and what do I need for an e brake on these brakes? Thanks in advance guys for any and all help.

cables....are you running staggered shocks in the rear? The right side will have clearance issues.

If you have disc spindles, you will also need spacers to mount the brackets as well.

Anthony,I think what Tu was mentioning is the spacer between the spindle and the LS bracket since you have disc brake spindles. They are about a 1/4 nch round spacer, I will send you a picture.

For the ebrake cables, someone posted here before on how to modify or a few part numbers. I think Lokar may have some as well.

Check this thread out:

Anthony, this may help. Did you buy the brackets from Joe with the spacers?

The spacer will mount between the bracket top hole (see pic) and the spindle:



If you do not have the spacers, give me a holler, I think I bought two sets from him. You may be able to get away with a thick washer.

For the rear, you can run a spacer similar to this, to center the caliper:



Give me a holler if you get stuck.

67's are not staggered, staggered arrangement will require 2 left sets or move the shocks.
