I know the years, I am really looking for the parking brake assy's or the backing plate as they call it. The piece that will bolt to the axle tube.

"Ls1 rear disc brakes" was how I bought mine years ago off eBay . If i had to do it again today I'd just call yards local and go pick off whats needed in person .

When I was looking, there weren't many on Ebay. There were usually only about 2 sets on average, and a lot of them were pretty crusty looking. It took me several weeks to find a set that looked good.

Unfortunately around here cars like this are golden.They go to auction and who knows what happens to them after that. In short, those cars do not make it to our bone yards here.
