Default Did a search....smaller rear brakes?

I've got the ground down stockers on the rear now, I wanted to put some drag brakes on but Strange says my bearings aren't right for it.....

Anyone put an LT1 rear caliper or something on their car?

I called Strange (since I have their 12 bolt in the car) to see about just getting their brakes and he said since it has a cone type bearing its not going to work right. I honestly have no idea what he means, I can't see what difference it would make.

Just get the sealed bearing kit from him and the brakes. If not get a set of Wilwood rears. they will work.

I've had the vented Wilwood rears on mine for years now, I love them

My 15" Weld Alumastars fit without any issues or spacers.

Madman is right. Get the sealed bearing and then we can set you up. We still have the sale going from when you bought the fronts.
