We all know that no one makes big brakes for the rear of ls1 cars. That may have something to do with the fact that larger rear brakes are probably less effective for racing than the stock ones - which themselves may be a little too strong - but I digress. Do you think that it would be possible to fit a kore3 big brake kit for a ford 9inch (it uses C6 Z06 rear brakes and even has an integrated parking brake) to a standard aftermarket 9inch for fbodies, or even on a fab 9 from midwest chassis? Forgetting the reasons, do you think that it would be possible to do? Is there anything that you can think of that would make it impossible? Thanks for your thoughts.

 

It can be done yes.. I've seen front and rear C6 Z06 brake kits on the same car with a narrowed rear.

 

Anything is possible.


Spending big money to shake the teeth out of your head........


Carry on.......

 

Could the excessive power of the rear brakes by mitigated by brake proportioning?

 

I don't really know F-bodies that well but I don't see why a good porportioning valve couldn't fix the issue.

 

Anything is possible, but what's the point? If you adjust the proportioning to counter the big brakes (basically making them the same braking power as stock brakes) why even bother?

 

^^^ what he said. I really dont see much of a need for big rear brakes.

 

Making sense..............

More uncommon than common nowadays.

 

Assuming it's probably for a show car.

I've heard that the UE decoupled torque arm since it decouples can allow more braking power before brake hop occurs.

 

I don't expect to gain much in the way of rear brake performance, I just want giant brakes for 19inch wheels. Thank you all for the replies and analyses.
