C5 Disc Brake Swap for 67-69 Camaro

[Dionysus66]

Im collecting parts for the rear C5 brake swap for my 69 Camaro with drums, and so far I have the calipers with abutments, rotors, and the backing plate with the drum hubs. I know I need the caliper mounting brackets from Kore3, parking brake cable, a bracket made for the parking brake, and lines from the caliper to the brake lines. But, what else would I need. I talked to Tobin at Kore3, he was really helpful, but I told him what I have and he said he could sell me his kit minus the parts I already have. Its cool of him to do but its still a little pricey for me at the moment. Can anyone help me out on the parts Im missing? And anyone figure out a good way to get the parking brake to work with staggered shocks? Well thanks everyone.

Thats exactly what Im running on my car so not sure why they are saying that??? Maybe they want to sell Aluminum hubs to you? : )

Great post.
C5 rears - do you have parking brakes hooked up? Ive got LS1 and LT1 rears on the shelf 'cause Ive planning this for a while and need a parking brake. if C5's are easier on the parking brake Ill go that route

Are you running stock control arms. Im trying to copy CarlC's front rim and tire size on a '69 (17 x 9.5 rim)

Love the redlines
