Im upgradeing my 10 bolt drums to discs and rather the going to stainless steel brakes i was woundering if anyone has done this out of a doner chevy that will bolt up? Im putting b body spindels with 1 le rotters and camaro calipers with shorter upper control arms on the front but need some direction for the rear.

Thanks for any advice

alot of people are converting to the 98-02 camaro rear disc brakes with minor mods.

why are you doing the B-body swap on the front?? its kinda a old school swap compared to the camaro front disc or C5 vette disc swap and has none of the bumpsteer issues like the b-swap does

My whole car is built with the old school in mind and what you would do to it in the 80's despite the bumpsteer issues. What is involved in a c5 swap??

here's how to do the rear swap to 3rd or 4th gen camaro parts. i actually have the full rear brakes from a 92-96 f-body that is for sale. i was going to do the swap, but decided to change the rear axle. i'm asking what i paid, $250 plus shipping.
