has anyone been on classic performance products they have a cool spindle and vett brake set up for 2nd gen camaros. i thought the 2nd gen camaros would accept are spindles. it is a cheap way for them to get bigger brakes. if so i wonder if there new set up would work on are cars. price seams good to me $649.00. here is link and what do you guys think?

John,I called them a few weeks ago about one of their rear disc conversions and because our wagons are metric he didnt think they would work.Didnt seem interested in making any effort in trying to find out.His answer was to buy a kit and see if it will fit.Still think the kits from Summitt are the cheapest way to go for those of us with no machining skills or lathe access.

Guys, this isn't hard. Compare the upper and lower ball joint sizes on the 2nd gen Camaro, ask CPP what the overall knuckle height is, compare it to the B-car knuckle height, check the spindle height, and compare the location of the B-car steering arm to the CPP steering arm and that'll tell you if it will work. Lastly, see if you can get the in/out offset of the hub face and that'll tell you what rims you could use on it.

If you want to keep ABS, you may have a concern about tone ring counts. I assume the C5 bearing assemblies have tone rings? You may have to have a custom rear reluctor made and installed (now's the time!) but that would allow you to keep ABS as long as the teeth count match proportionally.

i got rid of abs that will not be a problem. i got my rebuild kit for the emergency brakes on the 9c1 rear from bill. the kore kits he sells sound great but big money. joel i will check to see if the caprice and camaro use the same ball joints. for some reason i think they do but i will check
