Default Rear Discs.

Ok guys, i have never done rear brakes on my 99 Z yet, is the E brake a drum setup where it works on the inside of the bell of the rotor? or is it through the caliper? just want to know what i am getting into this weeked. Also are Bosch Ceramic pads good for I rotors or no? I dont have the money for 100.00 Hawk, or high performance pads, so i want to get the best for about 50.00 at the most a set. i figured ceramic would be ok, gonna try to find Raybestos. Thanks in advance

Mike

The e-brake and caliper are seperate. The LS1 F-Bods have a tiny pad and drum set up.

Can't help you on the pad call ... If your funds are limited, then run what you can ....

does the pad and drum setup run on the inside of the rotor? or is it a seperate bolt on assembly, that the rotor slides over? thanks for the help.

The parking/emergency brake is a drum setup inside the rear rotor.
I'm currently using Satisfied Metalazer Pro Ceramic in the front and metallic in the rear. They are about the same as stock. They are a brand that Lappens carries.
