brake conversion
I'm doing drum to disc conversion on my 1990 IROC this weekend. I have PBR calipers, pads, rotors, bracket (from Flynbye), hoses, and e-brake cable. My question is the following: are shims and spacers needed to complete the installation? Thanks

Re: brake conversion
If it's anything like the LS1 PBR (4th gen) brakes I converted on my second gen from drums. I had to mock it up then find out what I needed for spacers/washers to align everything properly.

Re: brake conversion
Primarly what I had to align was the caliper bracket on the passenger side. My driver side was pretty much fine. So I had everyhing assembled without the wheel on and then chekced to make sure everything was straight. I should have given that information before, but didn't think about it. Hope this helps.

Re: brake conversion
I swapped from Delco-Moraines to PBR's. The following link provides pics and part numbers which might prove useful. Also, note the spacers. As I recall I only used one.
