Quick Performance 9" Rear Brake Questions

You'll be grinding the fck out of the calipers, why I went with the LT1 Fbody Rear Disc. Fit a 15" wheel nicely.

It's the right size, no doubt there (even for a bigger wheel). It just clicked that I had all that LS1 stuff on hand and no other use for it.

To throw some thought into this - stock Exploder 8.8 disc brakes fit a 15” wheel and bolt into a big ford wheel end. They need a thin ring spacer that Strange sells for about $20 between the seal and plate.

Very budget friendly and stock, readily available parts.

So. . . it's possible that this bolt pattern fits GM brakes and Ferd Exploder brakes? I feel like I'm more likely to score the Ford stuff at the pull and pay. I'll have my answer on the GM stuff next time I go out to the car.

For some reason I remember the bolt pattern being universal

I can safely say that I’m sure the exploder brake bolts onto a big 9” wheel end without issue.

Ehh, do I have a big 9" wheel end?

And to the bolt pattern being universal, why couldn't more stuff be that way?

I believe the big Ford 9” wheel end (also referred to as a Torino end) is universal.

Quicks has a reference page with measurements - I’ve seen it there. I measured for a week at the JY before ordering the ends and buying the kit with pucks and bar to weld them in.

This me waiting for axles to be redrilled haha.
