      Am I missing something for a proper brake setup?

      Ok, I know I have posted some crazy ideas for my rear brakes, but have decided to just use two LS1 left side brake assembly's for my rear brakes. I recently took my car for a drive and I need rear axle bearings, and since I need to pull the axles for that I might as well swap out the backing plates while I am at it. Since I don't want to do that twice.

      Now, I already have the C5 front brakes up front with stainless steel brake hoses, a C3 manual disk/disk master, stock proportioning valve, and stock rear drums on my 1976 Trans Am. I have most everything I need for the rear brake swap so far; 2 complete left side assembly's, stainless brake hoses (conversion with metric/sae), and large enough rear wheels. From what I have read on this site, amung others, I am going to go with a GM Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve, 10 lb residual brake valve for the rear brakes, spacers to center the abutment, and shorten and reflare the brake lines in the back. Am I missing anything for the actual brake swap? I am going to hold off on doing the ebrake since I am on a budget.















      Thanks,
      Ryan
