  • This took some figuring, but it's a recipe for 13.4" Corvette Z06/Z51 C6 rear disc brakes on any old GM 10/12-bolt car axle (and the s10s) for under $500. Kore3 charges around $2k.
    You gotta grab some Blazer backing plates from the junkyard and make or buy some adapter brackets (I can help you out with those) and buy $300 worth of new parts. I actually snagged the Corvette calipers on clearance and the entire conversion cost me $226, including the custom brackets.

    Poor Camaro is seeing the light again. Look forward to seeing that thing drive.

    You really know your shit when it comes to GM. How long did it take you to make this video?
    That is some serious fabrication skills!

      My original idea was a few years ago, but it was a few weeks testing stuff and then making brackets.

    What cables did you use for the emergency brake?

      Originally I made the Blazer cables work. Then when they got destroyed by the driveshaft letting loose, I used lokar universal cables with the Corvette end clevis.
