You’re really patient I would’ve been flipping out with those kids in the background while I was trying to work you’re a good dad

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Thanks!!

[@joemartina6228]

Awesome job dude I've got a 89 z28 very similar to yours

[@brandonnewell964]

Nice work! Could you please give a itemize list of which parts you ordered from the link you provided.

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

I ordered the brackets and the conversion hubs only. The rest of the parts were bought locally new or from a junk yard.

[@averykamden2340]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my brother lately :)

[@nehemiahgrey625]

@Avery Kamden yea, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :)

[@vandettabuilds6641]

Where did you get the hubs and conversion brackets ??? Thank you!!

[@benkalinowski5834]

When you did this did your banjo bolt contact the control arm during lock to lock the guy at big brake just told me that you had to make a bracket and extend it down

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

No I have no issues

[@TheMunozJandI]

Awesome job. I will be starting this upgrade within the next week. What is the part number for the longer studs you used? Any issues?

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

No issues I think the parts store helped with the longer studs

[@brandonarkle55]

Hi Eddie, are the abutment brackets side specific? Or are they interchangeable from left to right and vise versa? Thanks and Awesome work man!

[@davebarron5939]

Maybe I missed it, where did you get the conversion bracket? Obviously the rest is OEM sourced parts. Seems like the perfect "in-between" brake upgrade idea. Thanks.

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

I got it from Big Brake upgrades. you will have to modify the spindle.

[@benkalinowski5834]

The loctite 271 I live in canada and the 271 isnt high heat And i cant believe that usa has same numbber and differebt heat range

[@J2A61]

Can you tell me how or where to source the parts need? This seams much cheaper then the other options…👍🏾👍🏾

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Same parts v6-v8 join some fourth gen groups on Facebook people are always parting them out. Got the brackets from the big brake store they also sell kits. Good luck

[@55chevyman4u2nv]

are changing the master cylinder to 4th gen Camaro too? and where did you get the hubs thanks nice work

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

My master cylinder works great after I did the spring upgrade. Stops better than my sons 99 z28. The hubs came from big bad brake store.

[@leebracy7818]

Is this a kit I can buy? Or do you have part numbers? Thanks

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

No kit. Got a bracket from big brake store and the other parts were a mix of new and used parts from the 98 Camaro doesn’t matter it’s it z28 or 6 cylinder all the same

[@rally91cam]

Excellent job Eddie!! I would like to do that upgrade to my Z28. Will the spare tire fit over the bigger caliper?

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Arnaldo Rios I’m not sure. I feel like it would unless the 1le had different spare tires

[@davebarron5939]

At 1:18 you mention "proportioning valve spring" did this fix the BRAKE light "on" on the dash? I did this rear disc swap on my 83, and it stops fantastic, major improvement however, now the light is on all the time, thoughts? Thanks.

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Dave Barron I’m pretty sure the light only lets you know if the brake is on or low fluid. The spring helps to increase line pressure.

[@davebarron5939]

@@eddiesspeedgarage fluid is full. I am thinking a "period" trans am P valve for 4 wheel disc. Thanks.

[@prestonedmonds4128]

Does this space the wheel out the thickness of the turned down hub?

[@bet0mi3rda]

Where did you get the adaptor wheel hub? Im tryna upgrade my brakes on my camaro as well.

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Big bad brake store

[@benkalinowski5834]

Did you have to get anything machined I thought you had to machine the bearing shafts

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Just the hubs. I had a difficult time finding a shop to do it so I just brought some from big brake store

[@benkalinowski5834]

@@eddiesspeedgarage cool What brake line bolt did you use Can I just bolt on my factory lines I just changed them all a few years ago

[@LucasNhuPham]

Are these the 2.0 or 2.5 inch hubs?

[@dalecolbert8039]

Do you tap all the holes on the bracket? And what size drill and tap do you use?

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

At this moment in time I don’t remember but I’m sure I discuss it in the video.

[@Dave-mn7hs]

Hi good Job ! what are the dimensions of the adapter plate, hole distances?

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

I used to have it saved in my phone but if you do a google search it will show up

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

@@martinhernandez628 it was a lot easier than I thought is would be. I procrastinated for many years to do a front disk upgrade. The old school 1le upgrade to the spindle was very similar but I could never bring myself to do it. Just watch the video gather your supplies and take your time. Good luck!

[@klee-9741]

Is it the same for all the sides even the back???

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Subscribe! I have another video that addresses the drum to ls disk conversion for the rear as well as many others.

[@benkalinowski5834]

Did you need a end tap

I did tap the bracket if that’s what your question is

Which rotors do you use and what mallets do you use?

4th gen rotors 98-02

Tnx Bro!

When you emailed the guy from big brake upgrade. Com did he ever not send you parts I ordered 2 brackets and 2 hubs and I paid him in full 2 weeks ago And I think now he faked shipped it to me I got a tracking number that doesn't work I live in Ontario Canada but 2 weeks is more than enough

Do you have a parts list?

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Juan Rivera the hub and bracket came from big brake upgrades. The rotor and pads are from my local parts store. The caliper and abutment bracket is from 1998-2002 camaro. No part numbers needed. Just check your local junk yard or you pull and the big brake website

[@eddiesspeedgarage]

Iroc only had 16 in rims

[@mixmasterhowie678]

Great project Eddie. Thanks for the video. BTW I have seen an IROC-Z with the 15 inch wheel. I see that thirdgen.org has the following tech for 1988: "The 16 inch wheels that had been standard equipment on the '88 Camaro IROC were restyled and now became an extra cost option for the IROC. The standard IROC wheel was the old 15×7 inch aluminum 5 spoke Z28 wheel and this wheel was also now standard on the Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe. In 1988 only, this wheel rather than having only the recessed areas painted gold or silver, was completely painted gold or silver (for that `double-dunked' in paint look)." So the 15x7 5 spoke wheel may be a tight fit with the big rotors?
