Can someone please clarify for me why the body style for 1970-1973 camaros effects the ability to install rear disc brake kits? There are lots of kits out there but it seems the "F" body is excluded from most.

Thanks for the info, I will check them out. No idea on why they list them seperate like that in CPP and Summit catelogs?

Probably due to the staggered rear shocks on the F-bodies. One shock ahead of and one behind the axle usually requires two identical calipers, not a R and a L.

Got all my Right Stuff thru Matts. Newly released rear disc splash shield on the way. Will post photos later here.

We are currently Right Stuff's Largest Brake dealer in the US.

We are able to offer great prices on their parts and their service to us is SECOND TO NONE.....:hurray:

You still get the FULL lifetime warranty and tech support direct from them but the savings from us...We have a VERY good relationship with them and recommend NO OTHER stock type front/rear disc kits because of their attention to detail, quality (its not all the same like most guys think, believe me!!) and their warranty exchange is THE BEST hands down!

Let me know if you have any questions on their product, we sell multiple kits a day so we have seen ALMOST everything with their stuff.
