Ill probably install them this weekend... was gonna upgrade the front brakes too at the same time and clean them up, but ill prob just install these and do the front suspension along with a little brake upgrade for the front

One thing I had to do with the axles in my 8.2 was to get the flange turned down to 5.75 so the camaro rotor would fit. I don't know if your set up has the same issue but you might want to check

If thats the case could I just take the axle that go wit the rotors?

a camaro axle won't fit a G body rear end....if it doesn't fit it's not expensive to have a machine shop turn them down. Your axle might fit, I was just posting it so you can check before you get into the job and go "oh f*&=#k" when you get that far

FedEx delivered a small package... so another $85 (flynbye brackets) brings my grand total to $217... so lets see if I can get this done, without anything else, even though the pads are looking good, I may go ahead and buy some new ones after i clean it up... but minus that $217 for rear 12" disc brakes isn't bad at all...

I think I am missing something.... but what are the brackets for ( front or rear ? ) I see you already have the backing plates for the rear so why not just use those and drill out the holes to match the backing plate ?
