i have a complete 99 Trans Am that id like to do a front and rear brake swap to my 72 T/A. Are there kits or how-to's available. Been searching the forum for a while and all i see is C5 kits. i already swapped the rears to S10 blazer discs but would like to go bigger.

That's a 4th gen

BRP hot rods used to sell parts to use the fronts. Mose people elect to use the bigger c5 stuff.

If you are removing the blazer discs, and they clear 15s and staggered shocks I might be interested

If you use 99 rear disc brakes you will need to lefts (I believe) so it will clear the staggered shock setup.
I would post over on NastyZ28.com and ask your question. Wealth of knowledge over there.

I have Blazer rear discs on my '72 Olds 442, I think the Blazer parts were from 2001 model year. They just barely would fit inside a 15" Olds SSIII rim in a mock-up. I ultimately went with 18" rims from US Mags so I never saw this all the way through to final install but it looked do-able!

Bigbrakeupgrade.com carries the brackets I believe.
