I have some brake questions/ looking for recommendations.
I'm piecing together a 72 Cutlass, with turbo ls 5.3. Will be running 18" wheels, CPP spindals, 9" rear end (haven't ordered it yet)
I have access to a bridgport, and CAD.
Car will be 90% street driven
I need a parking brake on the rear for state inspection. I'm looking to try and keep the budget in check, can't swing brand new willwood all the way around, so I've been looking at vette, 5th gen camaro, and cts parts. The camaro, and cts are closer in weight to an A body than the vette, but I'm not sure how critical that is.
I like the looks and price of the camaro stuff, but I've read that they won't be a direct bolt up in the front, and haven't been able to find any info on the rears.
Haven't been able to find info on bolting up CTS to the front, no info on rears.
I know the C5 stuff will bolt up on the front, and KORE3 makes brackets for the rears.
Is there any benefit to C7 stuff? (and will it bolt up to the front?)
Has anyone used 5th gen parts? Can I just modify my spindals on the front, and does anyone make brackets to use the rears?
Same q's for the CTS stuff.
I was looking to figure this out, so I can order the rear with the correct housing ends.
Thanks in advance
