You looking for stock brakes or an aftermarket set-up? How much of a drop?

Year One, Rick's first Gen, Classic industries, Jegs, Summit Racing, CCP, MB, Wilwood, etc, are all great start points.

You need to be a bit more specific for a more targeted response

I have done a lot of research on installing discs on a first gen camaro. 3 basic options. Buy a used set up from someone locally. Dont forget that other GM cars used front discs that will bolt right onto your camaro. Do a quick search on that. Another option is one of the generic swap kits that Ricks, Classic, Year One and Ebay sell. These work and they are well engineered bolt on kits. The only trouble is they are "generic." They will look wrong to anyone who knows what the booster and master cylinder should look like on a 1st gen. The last option is a specific, not generic, swap. This is like the fist option but it uses all new parts. I have only found one kit like this and its made by Inline Tube. Its a bit more expensive then the generic kits but its period correct.
