Default F-Body brakes on LeMans with drums

I have a bead on a set of F-body disc brakes and rotors. Does anyone sell an affordable kit to use these parts with the drum brake hub?

I'm pretty sure the ls1 brakes are almost identical to the c5 brakes. From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) the only real difference is the casting of the calipers. you will have to turn down the hub to fit in the rotor hat. Give Tobin a call at kore3. He will be able to get you what you need.

Thanks power. It seems BMR has the same kit but with the required spacer for the rear as well. Same price so I guess BMR is the better choice.

if you want to get a decent look at the Kore3 hubs, go to my build thread. I've got Kore3/C5 Z51 brakes on front, LS1 F-body brakes on the rear.

When i talked to Kore, they were not doing F-body brakes, only Vette stuff... have they started marketing F-Body now.? But the was a while ago.

If you need help on the e-brake. Follow to my Nova build thread, i have posted what it takes for mod'ing the brake cable and making a bracket.
