      LS1 rear disc caliper location

      Hey guys I need some help on my LS1 rear disc brake setup for my 69 camaro. Does it matter if the calipers are mounted to the rear? I know if I go by what it says on the brackets then they are mounted to the front side of the rotors. I want to mount these to the rear so I can run the ebrake cable to the original location but want to make sure they will give me the most stopping power and be safe. Thanks

      I installed the LS1 brakes on my Nova. The way I have them installed one is forward and one rearward because of the staggard shocks. I have had no problems with the setup in the 2 years i have had it on. I dont see why you couldnt mount them both to the rear.

      You just need to swap the calipers side for side so the the LH is on the right side and visa versa, that way the bleed screws are up.

      I relocated the shocks inboard because of the mini tubs so they are not an issue. Thanks for the help.

      on my nova wagon i have them at the back.
      if you look at alot of new vehicles you will notice alot that have them toward the rear of the car.like Tobin said just make sure the bleeder screw is atthe top of the caliper.

      ls1 rears

      get the brp kit that correctly puts the calipers to the front. if not you have one in the front, one in the rear. that might work but it looks kind of strange.

      That's funny! I have never been able to see both sides of my car at the same time!
