Default 2000 Camaro SS 12" rear discs, these are a direct bolt on.

I just read another thread that 2000 Camaro SS 12" rear discs, are a direct bolt on.

A direct bolt on for what?
Will the really bolt directly on my 10-bolt?
Will they work with c-clip eliminators?
I don't have the eliminators yet but will need them soon.

Can I get all the info you guys have on these fitting. Thanks Gordon

Brakes are something else from what I have read. When you go about this sort of thing it seems to be difficult to get the proportioning correct front to rear. I'm gearing more towards going with a kit from a company, having all the testing done already, with technical support available. That is not to say that if I were to find a home brewed setup that was convincingly successful I would not go that route. But I really haven't seen much in the way of an easy way out, seems like a lot of trial and error. I hope that something comes up here.

Proportioning is the least of worries with going to any disc brake system. A $34 Biondo Racing adjustable valve will take care of that. It's getting all the bracketry and E brake setups to make it all install easily, and work well.
If I were doing a disc brake swap I'd go with a proven setup designed for a 2nd gen, and then if it didn't come with an adjustabel valve, I'd just put one near the master and dial it in.
I had to do this with my Austin's disc/drum setup to reduce the braking to the drums and stop rear wheel lockup, and it's was cheap and easy. Took a few trips down the street trying to stop quickly to adj. the valve, but once it's set you just forget it.
