Rear disc brake conversion from LS
anyone done the rear disc conversion using ls brakes with ebrake shoes. Sway for c clip rear end pretty easy. Question is has anyone done the bolt in olds axles and did this swap what did you have to do to make it work properly and align correctly??

'01 Blazer rear disc

I have done a similar swap with Blazer rear discs. The LS rears rotors and calipers were bigger than I needed and the Blazer backing plate has provision for the parking brake cable where the LS set-up required fab'ing up a a bracket. Here's a link to my build page with some pics - the brakes start around post #67. The process will be similar with the LS parts but the spacing and dimensions will likely no be the same as mine.
