I bought a rear end a few weeks ago. yesterday i relized that it didnt have the caliper assembly bracket ( the one going to the axel ) on both sides. Anybody have some that i can either have or buy cheap? IF not, ive noticed on ebay that there are C5 corvette brake caliper brackets, what the difference between the camaro's and the corvettes brakes? If you have anything, PM me if you could, as i will likely forget this exists.. lol

BTW, its off an 02 rear

 

surprisingly i havent forgotten this thing..

How many of yall build these rear ends up a bit? Im pondering getting a detroit tru trac ( i think thats who makes it..) and some stronger axels, maybe doing the c-clip eliminators. But when i price it all out for parts its not cheap, then to pay somebody to install of that is just that much more. Probably 1500 or more all said and done.. SO, what are the weak links in these rear ends?? Ive asked that no less than 6 times and never gotten a response on it. Its clearly not a very strong rear, but why.. Is it the LS assembly? The axels? The housing? What?

 

To be honest I think its just the way GM put the rear together. No real "performance" elements were done to the rear. Also the tiny 7.5" ring gear is a midget compared to the stock GT 8.8" rear.
