Detailed brake upgrade thread? WHERE?

[TheFamilyTruckster]

Can somebody put up a link about the blazer/corvette front upgrade and the f-body rear disc brake upgrade? Just starting reading up on this but can't get an all in one thread. Also would aftermarket uppers/lowers work with the front upgrade?

The S-10 (and Astro van) shares a lot of chassis and suspension parts with the G-body. Find a 98-02 2WD Blazer and take the whole knuckle, rotor, caliper (with bracket and bolts) and hub/bearing. The ball joints and tie rod ends are exactly the same as the G-body. Go to Kore3 racing for parts to upgrade to Corvette rotors and calipers. Meanwhile, the 2-piston Blazer brakes will be a major improvement over factory G-body brakes. Here's what they look like: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53792#.VH_lqMkuiUk

I have heard F-body and Blazer rear disc brakes are very similar. Some shimming may be required. Some nice posts by LS Customs. Find his page and he has links to some great videos.

Here is the link for the blazer front brake upgrade viewtopic.php?f=14&t=35747#.VH7mPeaCOrU
And the f body rear viewtopic.php?f=19&t=41067.

Aftermarket control arms will work too.
