    Hello, I found a set up of early disk brakes off of a 67 Camaro and was wondering if it can be done? My guess is that because the Camaro was a rear stear car, I will have to change the control arms that connect to the tie rods? Please help and thanks in advance!

    Uhmm. What?? Are you referring to front disc brakes? If so, then yes, they will work for the swap. The 67-69 F-bodies, 64-72 A-bodies and the 68-74 Nova bodies will interchange front disc brake spindles. What's that you mentioned about rear steer on the Camaro?

    Josh, thanks for the info! I thought that it would work. What I mean about a Camaro being a rear stear car, unlike a Skylark, is that instead of the drag link and tie rods being infront of the A arms, they are behind the A arms. That is why I have to change the spindle control arms. They face the oppostite way. I think this is for 67-69 only. After that they went to front stear on Camaro's like most other GM cars. Here is a picture of what I have!

    Just change the steering arm to your original ones ... those look grerat but be sure you can get the cailpers rebuilt before you go crazy they can be hard and expensive to have done. They are Corvette 4 pistion cailpers great find !!!!
