4th Gen Axle in a 3rd Gen Camaro
This topic was posted before but I don't know what the outcome was. I was looking at a 4th gen Camaro axle with disc brake setup to put in my RS and was wondering if this axle has the same dimensions and mounting points as the 3rd generation Camaro. Has anyone done this swap? Also, which 4th gen Camaro axle comes with 3.42 gears from the factory if any? Any helpful input is appreciated.

Aw crap! I was hoping to use the rearend but only for the disc brake setup. The wheels I'm using with the factory axle are even with the fenders as it is and I think the "go-cart" look you see on lowriders is an insult to a Camaro. Would the 4th rear disc brake setup work with my existing axle?

I think that if I went with the 4th gen rearend , my tires would stick out because right now they're even with the fender wells as you can see on the pictures in the readers rides section. Thanks for the information.

True they will stick out, but only 1" on each side. Thats not much and it wont look like a Low Rider. It will give your car a differnt stance and one I like. I have seen this done and I think it looks bas *** .

Moved to suspension board because the rear of the RS is the same as every other thirdgen.
