I have searched for brackets. On your official site. Can you send me a link with a price on the bracket/adapter?

I really don't want to cut the axle. If anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Most of the ones that I've seen done, required cutting off one of the mounting ears from the axle flange. I can't say I ever liked that method.

The 98-02 Camaro rear brake swap means using the backing plates - they contain the parking brake, a small one-piece shoe that expands inside the brake rotor to hold the car when parked. A completely different swap is possible if you use 79-85 front-wheel drive Cadillac or Buick calipers - they use a mechanical override in the caliper itself to apply pressure to the pads to hold the car when parked. Scarebird makes a bracket kit that requires no cutting on the G-body axle, but you do have to turn down the axle shaft flanges fit then into the rotors.

I've been told these will work. But I'll call tomorrow to confirm.

Those are for the presence ls1 camaros. 93-97 lt1.from what I read about flyneby he's difficult to get a hold of and takes a very long time to get your stuff. The thing with brackets like those you lose the ebrake provision because you're only mounting the caliper and not the ebrake assembly.

I agree with longroof. The only mounting for ls1 rears I have seen is cutting off the tab.

The ones that ss696 posted I've seen used to. It's nice to be able to go to a parts store and get parts right away.

As he mentioned will also need a modification to fit.
