Wilwood Narrow Superlites on an A-body

[kevmurray]

I'm shopping for a new brake system and I'm leaning toward the Narrow Superlite kit.

Anyone install these on an A-body and did you have any issues? Park brake connect up easy and work well?

Also, I'm running a 12 bolt rear and knock back is one of my concerns. Is there a fix that does not involve going to a full floating axle or c-clip eliminators?

I can't comment on those kits because I haven't used them, but for the rear you really should run a floating caliper to avoid pad knock back.

How does anyone get away with Z06 rear brakes on a live axle? They are popular but don't have a floating rear caliper.

Can anyone recommend a nice brake system that has a rear floater? It seems all the serious ones are fixed. :confused:

Trust me you don't want C6 Z06 brakes without a floater, changing mine out this winter and found the thread I bumped back up to the top titled Camaro performers rear brake kit

I run the LS1 4th gen fbody rear calipers with my C6Z06 fronts. They balance out nicely.
