General Discussion / Disc brake conversion
« on: February 17, 2022, 07:29:45 PM »
Hello all, hope everyone is doing good. I have a question about a brake conversion and couldn't source an answer on here.
I'm going to be changing over my front drum brakes on my Camaro to disc. I've sourced most of the original parts I'll need to do this (to keep it looking as authentic as I can), but when it comes to the rotor....are there any pros or cons to staying with the 2 piece OEM style rotor in the conversion (other than authenticity) versus installing a 1 piece rotor for the 4 piston calipers? Finding the 2 piece is rather tough to do, but they are available, but was just wondering from experience if there is any advantage of one over the other (again, other than authenticity and maybe the 1 piece is more readily available these days). Thanks for any input you can offer.
