I will need to run spacers to get the rear caliper alignment correct. I don't know why more people aren't doing this conversion, or why nobody really seems to know much about what's involved. I think the later model floating PBR calipers are cheap and lame. Especially on a first-gen Camaro! Still waiting on my front caliper brackets....
      how's that swap coming?
