98-02 F body REAR Brembo Brake Conversion

Description

This kit is in pre-order and will soon be available!   Now to match your front Brembo brake swap on your 1998 – 02 we have a rear 4 piston swap that will allow your 4 channel abs to remain happy !

This is a specialized conversion just for the 98-02 rears only,  this setup will utilize a off the shelf 340mm rotor and 4 piston Gm caliper.  These calipers were originally used on the 13.3 or 339mm rear rotor equipped Gm cars from 2014-2024.   The swap retains the stock 98-02 backing plates with the original parking brake.  Traction control rears ( 4 channel ) and also the ABS only rears ( 3 channel ) can be used with this swap kit.  The outline of this swap:   We are using a reduced hat depth rotor to allow enough room for a conversion bracket to fit between the original parking brake or backing plate and axle housing end.  The new 4 piston caliper is placed on the opposite side of the original single piston. The new caliper now trails the axle.   In order for this to all fit together correctly the original backing plate needs threaded inserts installed in the original axle tube flange mounting holes (do not worry, no drilling required!) these inserts and tools are all provided along with a instruction guide to make this swap quick and easy.

Disclaimer

This kit will not work with the 93-97 ABS 4 channel system, sensor placement and abs tone ring size were different than the 98-02`s.  While it can be used on any late 10 bolt like a 93-97 or 82-92, the abs functionality portion is limited to the 98-02 cars only.   This kit can be used on a any late 10 bolt with a axle offset of 2.6-2.8 inch without abs or with 3 channel abs (sensor reads off ring gear)
