I am looking into getting my rear disc brake conversion done with brakes from a 92 camaro. I am reading that the E brake on these and many other disc brake setups require you to either run without a E brake or relocate the shocks. Personally I don’t think half of the g bodies on the road with stock brakes probably even have a properly functioning E brake and I am not sure i have ever used mine unless I was working under the car. anyone have thoughts on this? I am going to have to spend around 200 extra dollars to make the e brake work
how many are running rear discs with or without the E brake hooked up?

I deleted mine. I could hook them up if I bought different calipers but it's not a high priority for me. I can't remember a time where I used them when the car still had factory drums. If I had a manual trans it would be a different story. Going without is also a weight save.
that's kinda how I am thinking. I honestly thought I was going to get bashed on this one lol! if I can figure out how to hook mine up on the cheap I will still add them but the extra costs for new cables and shock relocation brackets seems silly for something that will more than likely not needed.
Its been a long time but on a friends elco he used something like what they used in the attached link to hook up his rear brakes as he's a stick car. Gbody front cable, Fbody rear cables, and he used flat bar to make a bracket which bolts to the flange to hold the spring tension. He also cut a notch in the orig gbody clip that splits the 1 line from the pedal to the 2 lines to each brake to slide the Fbody line into ( the schematic in the attached explains it better). Ive had that schematic printed out and on my toolbox since the install on my car but that's as far as I got. I am sure it was posted here as well... or maybe it was mcss ??
