Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Most people think if I convert to disc brake my car will stop much better. FALSE
Is he doing it for looks?
If he doing it to stop better? 1. Does the current brake system have a problem? Low vacuum, seized component etc. 2. If he wants better braking for repeated stops it would be better upgrade the front brakes with good pads before doing the rears. 3. Do you want to keep the use of your parking brake?
Like Mike pointed out, I have never seen a car with larger rear brakes than fronts.
No problem, your welcome
the new camaros have larger rear brakes. Plus they do help stop better.
Brake specs for 2010 Camaro SS (copied from Camaro5.com):
Rotor diameter (front) (in / mm): 14 / 355
Rotor diameter (rear) (in / mm): 14.4 / 365 / 315
Rotor thickness (front) (in / mm): 1.26 / 32
Rotor thickness (rear) (in / mm): 1.1 / 28

I agree. The only reason to switch out the drums would be for looks or autocross.
Drums brakes are in my mind better at stopping but they fade much quicker and need more maintenance because they are enclosed in the drums.
There is more surface area to a drum than a disc brake.
Remember trucks (large trucks CDL trucks) have drum brakes not discs.
This is also due to mechanical brakes, spring brakes for when you lose air.
Disc brakes have no means of applying themselves if you have a hydraulic failure.

My car is a 72. Its actually pretty rare because this is the year they had the ban on split bumpers and only 60,000 some odd cars were made this year and out of them like 8,000 were the v8 luxury interior package like mine seen here. So we decide not to go all out on it just make it a show car
