rear disc swap

[LETZRIDE]

So I'm getting some conflicting information when I search/talk to people.

Trying to get this Ford 8.8 rear end underway, and I am told I need to switch to the chevy disc brakes in the back...Some of the stuff I'm reading says that for a 93-97 car that we can only use LT1 brakes because the LS1 calipers take up more fluid? therefore I would have to change my MC?

Can anyone confirm this? I have a couple guys that have given me decent offers on total LS1 brake setups...calipers/pads/rotors/brakets etc, but I dont want to pick this stuff up if I can't use it.

Re: rear disc swap

I know I uses LT1 brakes and it was simple to do. I know theres a reason we can't use 98+ brakes FireBirdGT , Robert woould know, might PM him or see if he responds. I know I''m doing LS1 style brakes on the front here soon. Also use the shims if you do yours or the rear will squeek when making turns.

Re: rear disc swap

where can you get shims? I'm getting these from most likely a partout car...

Keep in mind these arent going on the stock rear end, they are going on the Ford 8.8, the guy building the rear says the discs will fit, I don't have ABS on my car anymore, so I don't care about the ABS stuff that I read there was issues about.

I'll also be getting custom moser axles...the the 98+ axles being a different length dont matter to me either...

Look under the writeups for the disk swap , it has all the info you'll need. Here you go: For shims either a service dept. or GMpartsdirect.com I think it is , there like $20 shipped I think it was.
