With support for the 4 channel rears (traction control) !!
This kit is in development and will feature the retention of the stock 98-02 backing plates with the parking brake and will be compatible with Traction control rears ( 4 channel ) and also the ABS only rears ( 3 channel ) a 340 mm rotor with a 4 piston GM brembo caliper will be introduced first with a 365 mm rear rotor 4 piston caliper set up to follow. All completely bolt on and no modifications or tearing the rear end apart!

Okay guys, good news again !
the 4 channel tone ring or abs sprocket clears the backing plate and looks as if the backing plate will not need any modification for that either. Actual fit up of the prototype parts will happen in the next few days and then we can go on too hardware and install procedure. I do need to create a spacer for the abs pick up sensor so that will be the last detail I think. We are getting closer to having this become reality.
I’d be interested in this setup that’s actually what I’m trying to run the 1le brake setup all around onto my car.
Hi Cliff
Yes I am building them, I have had guys asking for this a long time so I`m putting all my effort into this, mostly for the 4 channel guys- right now it looks like the original backing plate may just need a little clearing by the actuator boss, the ring for the abs when we push the plate far outboard as possible looks like it will contact but what I see right now is very minor as far as interference.
John S,
matching fronts for this 340mm rear kit would be the 345mm 4 piston fronts ( 6th gen SS ) or even the 6th gen 1LE 370 mm 6 piston set up. Those will bolt to the stock 98-02 knuckle with just opening the caliper lug mount holes to 14mm, super simple there.
Hey Joe, Glad too, its what I love to do, make stuff fit that shouldn’t 🙂 With the the 3 channel rears that have no tone wheel (ABS cog) behind the axle shaft flange this is going to work. My official prototype are at the laser and I should have more info here in a week or so but so far it looks promising.
I’m in for a front and rear kit that retains the OEM parking brake setup! Thanks for keeping the platform alive and upgradable! Please keep us posted on progress !

what are the matching fronts? I want the complete kit !!!!!
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping someone would build. If you produce these I am 100% in!
Hi Jonathan, Working on this today, I wanted to make the bracket slip over but it appears right now that would give up some strength. For now I`m going to keep the bracket “whole” at least for the first set up / prototype. I have ironed out most of the details and have been test fitting the parts, everything is looking great so far. Added some pics of the parts for proof of validity. The pads line up perfectly with the outer diameter of this rotor at 340mm and this set up will fit into 18`s with ease. Some 17`s are most likely a possibility as well but those would be select, forged and billet type wheels with more barrel than a cast wheel. I do need to find an axle stub with the abs tone ring on to find the depth I need for the sensor placement. Lots of guys have asked for this over the years I now have some extra time to work on the development of the custom parts needed to make it happen !
I am interested in this !
