Intended for compatible 1964–1973 Chevrolet Chevelle applications. Verify whether the rear axle is the correct 10-bolt or 12-bolt configuration. Confirm axle flange bolt pattern. Check axle offset and bearing / flange dimensions. Rotor diameter and thickness must match the supplied caliper setup. Verify wheel diameter and backspacing for caliper clearance. Some 14-inch wheels may not clear certain rear disc packages. Parking-brake configuration should be confirmed before purchase. Existing parking-brake cables may not connect directly to the new calipers. Master-cylinder bore and proportioning valve should be matched to the complete brake system. Front and rear brake balance must be checked after conversion. Existing hard lines may require modification or adapter fittings. ABS-equipped or highly modified axle assemblies should be verified separately. Aftermarket axle shafts or narrowed rear ends may affect fitment. Professional brake bleeding and system inspection are recommended after installation.

Rear brakes only.
Does it fit 10-bolt rear ends?
Yes, on compatible 10-bolt axle configurations.
Does it fit 12-bolt rear ends?
Yes, on compatible 12-bolt axle configurations.
What does “bolt-on” mean?
It means the kit is designed to mount using compatible existing axle-flange locations and supplied brackets rather than requiring major fabrication.
Does bolt-on mean absolutely no modification?
Not necessarily. Brake lines, parking-brake cables, axle hardware, or wheel clearance may still require adjustment.
Can I keep the original axle housing?
Yes, if the housing and flange dimensions are compatible.
Are the axle shafts included?

Are axle seals included?
Usually not unless specifically stated.

Many kits include instructions, but verify the package.
Is mounting hardware included?
Usually yes for the brake conversion components.
Does the kit improve braking performance?
It can improve braking consistency, heat management, and serviceability when correctly matched to the full brake system.
Are rear discs automatically stronger than drums?
Not in every situation, but discs generally manage heat better and are easier to inspect and service.
Does this kit shorten stopping distance?
It may contribute to better braking performance, but stopping distance depends on the complete brake system, tires, road surface, and vehicle setup.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the 1964–1973 Chevrolet Chevelle model year, exact 10-bolt or 12-bolt rear axle, axle-flange pattern, axle offset, bearing and axle-shaft configuration, rotor dimensions, caliper position, wheel diameter and backspacing, parking-brake setup, master-cylinder bore, proportioning valve, brake-line fittings, and exact kit contents before purchase.
