1969 Camaro disk brake conversion??

[eric36]

Can you guys tell me all that is need to put newer camaro/corvette disk brakes on my 69 that is all drums right now? Maybe some helpfull links. I have never messed with brakes before, tried doing a search but didnt find all the info i was looking for.

you can go all out and get a set of ATS spindles... they will accept corvette brakes, drop the car about an inch and improve geometry...
www.t56kit.com - they cost about $700

or you can get some mounting brackets for $150 which are a cheaper, less performing setup. www.kore3.com
I personally went with ATS Spindles in the front and the BRP (www.brphotrods.com) setup in the rear

master power brakes has a great starter kit.

There is a guy here in town parting out a 94 z28, Can i just pull off the master cylinder,booster, rotor and calipers and use those? Or is there a better route?

The rear brakes on the LT1 F-bodies are going to be the first generation PBR caliper with integral parking brake, virtually the same as the C4 Corvette except for the direction of pull on the cables. This is what Baer sells as a "Street" kit and also what Touring-Classics sell for a rear kit. Pretty good stuff with decent performance for most street applications.

The fronts are huge single piston cast-iron calipers...you can do much better. There aren't really any redeeming features to the front LT1 F-body brakes, so I'd personally leave them on the car and try to find LS1 (16" wheels) or C5/C6 stuff (17"+).

So should i even mess with the rears of the camaro? What about booster and master cylinder, what is a good car to get them off of? I work for gm so I get decent discounts on parts.

I just looked up prices on c5 front caliper kits and rotors and i can get those at a good price. So if i can get pointed in the right direction for the rest of the parts i would need that would be cool.

Just got off the phone with speedtech, they answered all my questions.Very cool guys down there...
