Camaro calipers on '96?

[crazyd]

Finally found a good '96 MC donor in the junkyard, and I completed the spindle/brake upgrade I've been contemplating for the last year and a half on my '92 GTP over the weekend. Pain in the ass, but a noticeable improvement going from 10.5" to 11.25".

 

Now that the groundwork is laid, what's the story on the Camaro caliper upgrade? Just need the caliper and bracket from a '99, and redrill & tap the bracket for W bolts, and use 13" rotors?

Do the 13" brakes clear the "W" wheels?

if you had some of the 17(or 18?)" wheel found on some of the later 3rd gens, maybe.

 

I'm kind of wary of that too.

Seems like the 13" was a misnomer, I think it's for 12". I tried the 97+ Eldorado caliper bracket for the 2nd-gen upgrade and it doesn't work. So what does?

04 cobra rotors and a welder....and btw a 96 monte isnt a 2nd gen..

I know it's not, but I thought I'd give the "2nd gen brake upgrade" a try on 1.5 gen parts to see if it was compatible. Since there was a '98 Eldo and a '96 Monte in my local yard it wasn't a big deal to experiment, but the bolt holes didn't align. However, I'm thinking it might be possible to drill them to fit.

rotors would hit the a arm....trust me I tried. I have a 97 monte(actually 2 lol)

Okay, is there any 12" upgrade for 1.5 gens?
