the rear was pretty simple just get a 98-02 fbody ls rear disc setup backing plate caliper etc. and cut rear axle so backing plate fits on the 7.5 gbody rear i like to take peice carboard and trace the pattern on the f body and transfer that to the gbody and get angle grinder and grind and cut wats not needed so backing plate fits and its ground to oem pattern u transferd from carboard then install as you would the fbody rear and done oh and you will need new studs and lug nuts for fbody ls their bit longer then the gbody studs if i remeber get them at auto parts store just get them from car your setup came off off you can fab up a bracket out little chunk of angle iron to put calipers on opposite side if want that same with e brake cable you will have to fab up a bracket for it to mount to fbody setup or just not use ebrake really not that hard setup theirs a video on youtube 3 parts on whole swap detailed too just type 10-12 bolt gbody big brake upgrade you see it hope that helps front nice setup to get to from 98-02 fbody well your gettin rear setup i offer few for front calipers and rotors if good and get a 98-05 blazer 2wd front spindles and hubs to mount the ls calipers or vette calipers to you will also need caliper bracket and hardware kit with bracket from kore3.com for the front setup to work kore3 has a vette caliper and rotors and pads kit that adapt to the 98-05 blazer spindles and hubs for pretty good deal if wanted that i just used ls calipers cause guy pretty much gave them to me when i bought rear hope helps.

Well I have to ask; If you used the 98-02 F-Body rear disc brakes, did you mount the backing plates on the opposite sides of where they belong so the calipers would face to the rear of the car?
