    I assume you mean convert the rear to disc brakes. Any rear axle from a 98+ camaro should work. Other camaro axles will work but you will need to make sure they are disc brakes.

      Yep.. already did the Z28 rear disc upgrade. Just swapped out the whole axle.

      Have the components for the front LS1 conversion too. Just need to get them over to the powder coaters shop for color. This would include the knuckle, rotors and calipers w/ brake lines. Other than the pain to break the upper/lower control arms, should be pretty straight forward.

      Once I get this going, I'll do a nice write up. Oh.. and the cost of the LS1 conversion stuff is about 250.00.

        well rear for the ls1 but there is anothor conversion for the fronts you can either do ls1 like tealv6 or you can convert to the c5 or zo6 brakes.

        well actually for drum to disc you can do a swap to lt1 spec or ls1, and for the fronts you can swap to the lt1, 96 vette GS, or the C5/Z06(same thing only difference is the Z06 caliper is powder coated red)

          I would defineteluy try www.camaroz28.com with this question.

          If dire neccessary of help i know a nice guy that might be willing to help he did an ls1 conversion on his 93 trans am.

          from the looks of it it would jsut be sort of the same as removing and installing the calipers.
