I need help guys. Let me explain the situation first.:
I have a 1995 Camaro 3.4L v6.
It needs a new rearend. It has drum brakes in the rearend btw…

I got in touch with a guy who is gonna sell me the rearend from his 99Z28. (3.42 gears, LSD… exactly what I was looking for)

He’s selling the rearend because he’s gonna get a 12-bolt put it.

He said that he will be using his stock brake setup (rotors/calipers/e-brake cable)

Basically, I have a rearend with no brake system.

NOW….

Here’s where I’m confused:

Will the disc brakes from an LS1 car work on my V6?

I asked a the guy at the shop and he said that the actual rearend will work but NOT the brake system. He said that I will need to get the brakes from an LT1 based car. (rotors, calipers, and backing plate)

I then talked to another guy and he said that the brakes from the LS1 WILL work.

At this point, I’m really confused as to what I need to get. Please help me out and clear the confusion.

What WILL I need?

Thanks in advance guys…

If your rear is from a 99 F-Body, then you'll need to keep the brake setup for 98+ F-Bodies. The whole rear together will work on your 95, but you cannot change the brake components, ie:Calipers, rotors, etc. It's because the brake components from 98-02's are a bit bigger than the 93-97's. Sounds like a good deal though, i'd like to have the rear from a 98+ on my car.
