B body spindles

[UNGN]

So basically I need 1990+ spindles?

Not really. My spindles were off an 1980's station wagon (Pontiac Parisian or whatever). Station Wagons generally have the 12" brakes.

A 4 dr caprice would probably have 11" brakes unless it was a cop car.

Looks like im sticking with blazer brake plan

the 11" and 12" calipers use the same brake pads.

It'll depend on what I come across first. I have to do something as my front brakes are pretty shot. Hell even if I come across 11" caprice brakes I'll throw them on as they'll be free aside from pads. If I was still in Missouri I'd already have the blazer brakes lol

I have the complete bolt-on setup with drilled rotors in the 5x4.75 pattern. The spindles came from a Cadillac with the HD bake option - on Caprices, this was the 12" police/taxi option. The rotors are for the 1LE Camaro. The parts are cleaned and painted. New loaded calipers with severe duty pads, Timken wheel bearings, brake hoses and master cylinder. Shipping is 2 boxes at 42 lbs and a third box at 30 lbs. Another Forum member expressed interest but needs to rest his wallet a little.

These cars used steel 15" rims, so they will fit just fine. If you choose to go with 16" rims, you could use a set of the the staggered offset ones - put the back ones on the front and the front ones on the back.

Not really hunting per say. The plan is either get some caprice brakes for free from my bro in law or just go the blazer route when I either part out another blazer or hit pick n pull

Are these quick take up calipers? For example, to use with a manual brake set up?

 

[ssn696]

Stock calipers. I don't know what 'quick uptake' is? Are those smaller diameter?

Dont the use the 11" spindles, you're not gaining anything. Get the 12" HD spindles and use Camaro 1LE rotors for the correct bolt battern.

If I get 11" free and you saw the rotors on my car I'd actually gain safe brakes lol
