This link is about the best how to on the inter webs I can think of, https://www.thirdgen.org/ls1reardisc/ The S10 brakes would bolt up the same.

Welcome to the forum. We see this is your very first post. Please introduce yourself. You might get a better response.

before buying brake parts you should know what rims you are using. Caliper clearance will be an issue for most rear disc swaps if you are keeping factory 14” or 15” rims

How To: Camaro Rear Disc Brake Swap to G-body Axle

I picked up a complete 2000 Camaro rear axle at the boneyard. There have been some excellent descriptions and videos posted, but I keep finding questions about how to do this job, so I plan to take some photos and describe details to fill in some blanks. This is my first attempt at this kind...

I lurked one day then signed up. Kinda miss the forums. Feels like I spent a lifetime on ROP and Oldspower until a few yrs ago. I recognize a few names here. Surely many have seen my car.


An issue that may occur bolting S10 rear disc on a g-body is caliper to frame clearance. Calipers are mounted fore or aft the axle depending with mounting plates are used 2wd or 4wd at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock positions. 2wd rotors need to be used for this swap. Thoughts were maybe clocking the mounting brackets at the 4 or 8 o'clock positions. I haven't done this particular swap but discovered yrs ago that this disc swap was practically a direct swap to early a-bodys.
