[68renner]

Who sells the brackets to allow 4th gen rear disc brakes to be put on a 1st gen?

If you're asking about the LT1 (93-97 Camaro) brackets, GM does: RH 18019858
LH 18019857. You may want to go with 2 RH brackets if you're doing a Camaro/FB with staggered shocks.

On the other hand, if you're asking about the LS1 (98-02 Camaro): I'm sure GM does there too, but I don't have part numbers.

Some of our sponsors may be able to help on either set.

Check out my website for the LS1 rear backing plate part numbers.

Good luck w/the swap.

So I need 2 R/H brackets if I'm doing a 68 F/B with staggered shocks? Also, are the 98-02 brakes any bigger or better than the 93-97?

Yes, you need two RH brackets if you have staggared shocks.

I believe the rotor sizes are the same, or damn close. Biggest different is the caliper set up. 93-97 has the parking brake set up on the caliper, (cable pulls pads together), where the 98-02 has the parking brake on the inside of the rotor, like a small drum brake.

[68renner]

Is either one better than the other?? What about the calipers themselves, either one better than the other??

[MarkM66]

I've had both, they look almost identical to me. Only differenct is the ebrake set up.

The numbers from my 98 TransAm (w/traction control) stamped on the brackets are (L) K361-075C & (R) K361-076C.

LS1 brakes are larger. My rear telstar 15's will fit on an LT1 4th gen but not on an LS1 car.
