so i found a guy local that is selling the front brakes off his 00v6 camaro to me for $80 bucks i am needing to know what all i need to take off the car to do the switch on my 95z?

i did a search on this and the computer tells me the page cannot be displayed.

so any help you guys can give me would be great.

thanks

Drivetrain topic right here.... check there.

You need the spindels, calipers, brake lines, rotors, pads, and brake fluid. That should do it.

No biggie bro. Just makes it easier on those that come after you and search the same topic. The LS1 brake upgrade is very popular. I for one wont do it because I dont want to have to use wheel spacers with my skinnies up front.

Actually, it would be on "Suspension, Chassis and Brakes"..... I'll move it there.

don't forget you need hubs, but you can reuse the old hubs
also when you get the calipers make sure you get the abutment bracket with it


in my opinion, get an air hammer w/ a pickle fork, pop off the upper ball joint, the lower ball joint and the tierod end
disconnect the abs sensor, and cut the brake hose, throw everything in a bag in the trunk and clean it all up at home, and get some stainless steel lines to replace the ones you cut

just my opinion

And get an alignment, i've been driving for 2 weeks after doing my swap and its killing my new Kuhmo 712's. I've been trying to get my brother to hook me up with a free alignment (he works at a shop) but he's being a whiney little girl....he also drives a 5.0 fox body....heh

you also need the bracket that mounts on the car to hold the new brake hose in place. you'll have to bend the lines on the car to make it fit right, but everything swaps fairly easily. especially if you aren't changing your shocks right now. but you may want to consider doing that while everythings apart.

the ls1 brakes are much nicer too.

Don't for get to complety remove ALL the V6 brake fluid. That stuff sucks.
