If you decide to install mini-tubs the game changes pretty dramatically. In the process of mini-tubbing you will completely remove the factory upper shock mounts and at that point it's generally easier to install a link style rear suspension. These link style suspensions provide a completely different set of shock mounts from factory and will use coilover shocks/springs.

Default LS1 rear brake conversion over at Team Camaro

I did the LS1 Rear brake conversion to my project.
Basically the same as AL aka "BPOS" did over at Team Camaro.
http://www.camaros.net/

With a stockish rear suspension and as far as the calipers are concerned Left side in front and right side behind the rear tires. Does not affect the calipers functionality. Shocks stay as they were.

Check it out.

If you tub, you will be relocating shock placement.
