I rarely cross post between boards, but I think this one deserves special mention.

I think he has absorbed part of the picture, but it is scary what you may really achieve when you know enough to be dangerous.

GM has been putting rear disks on Corvettes forever. They were an option of firstgen Z28's as well. Later secondgen T/A's also had them.

Well that doesn't leave GM much of an excuse for what they did on the IROC rear disc brakes then. I'm surprised they didn't get sued over it. It was a design that required use of the parking brake for adjustment to compensate for wear. I've noticed the 4th gen LT1 cars have a totally different type of rear disc, and the LS1 4th gens still another type. LT1 rear discs have a caliper-disc interferance problem; just got done dealing with that.
