Rear LS1 brake swap.

has anyone ever tried to swap LS1 rear brakes to a 8.5 axle axle out of a 2nd gen Camaro. i measured the bolt holes for the rear brake mounts from my 02 SS and my 69 SS (which has a 2nd gen 8.5 in it) and they look the same. i dont what to but a set of rear brakes and find that it will not fit. it would be nice to have inexpensive rear disk on my 69. please help.

Yes!!. that was the answer i was looking for. was it just a bolt in deal and also was the caliper evenly space on the rotor? Thanks, Steve.

Re: Rear LS1 brake swap.

I think they work depending on the shock placement.

IF YOU HAVE STAGERED SHOCKS YOU NEED TO GET 2 RIGHT SIDES FOR IT TO WORK ....

do the shocks get in the way. i was going to go with coil overs anyways but the main thing is that i wanted for the parking brakes to work properly. if i use two right sides, then wouldn't the left side parking brake cable be backwards?

thanks steve,\
