'78 monte aftermarket disk brakes

[Geo's66]

Guys, deciding on whether I'm keeping 15" rally's for the raised letters old school look, or going with 17" rally's... Either way, any recs on aftermarket setup? Have Baer on my chevelle... Many of these companies don't sell this car specific set-up, like the chevelles, camaros etc...

I went with Kore3 products/brackets on my car. 2012 Corvette 13.5 F and 13 R rotor size. I just bought the calipers, rotors and stuff from Rock auto.com and used Kore 3 brackets. I got the ones with the integrated parking brake hub for the rear. I had to cut the flange on the rear end housing where the backing plate bolts up. Follow Lt1 to Ls1 camaro instructions off the web for that. It's the same process for the G body. Up front I used the 2wd S10 blazer dropped spindles up front (wouldn't use them with 15's because of tie rod clearance) but 17's should be Ok or use standard spindles and a spring drop. All the Kore3 stuff is top notch and customer service is really good compared to their competition. ( I had horrible service from Flynbye stay away from them)

No. Close to rear shock lower mount but I am lowered 3 " in the rear and dropped my shock mount about 1 1/2".

On my 79 GrandPrix SJ I installed a Baer SS4 disc brake setup 11" disc on the front, 12" disc on the rear. Rear has the parking brake in the disc rotor hat. Kit is high quality and everything you need to install is in the kit including the new parking brake cables. Hawk HPS pads . Also replaced the brake combination valve with a new one for disc/disc setup.
I opted to go with a late model wheel tire combination. Rims are BOSS 338 chrome 17x8, Tires BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 245/45ZR17 all the way around. Car rides really nice, & stops on a dine

If you have the factory spindles you can get the UMI c5 conversion http://umiperformance.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8_398

or you can get the 98-05 2wd blazer spindles and get the kore-3 bracket kit which is what I am doing for the c5 brakes and you can do the rear ls camaro/firebird rear disc conversion https://gbodyforum.com/threads/gbody-rear-disk-brake-upgrade-detailed.41067/

I am rocking the factory 15" wheels ( see my avatar ) with LS1 rears and Blazer fronts. The barely clear but clear none the less. Driving it that way for 3 maybe 4 years now
