LS F-Body Rear Brake Adapter Plates for Factory Brake Alignment
Proper rear caliper positioning is often overlooked when swapping an LS mill into an F Body chassis. The F Body Rear Brake Adapter Plates bring the factory brake mounting points back into correct position on GM 10 and 12 bolt axles, allowing direct fit of recent F Body calipers without axle modifications. Each adapter is precision machined from sheet steel and finished to resist corrosion, so you maintain consistent rotor to pad clearance even under demanding street or track use. Installation needs only common hand tools and the included hardware kit to complete the swap in a weekend.
Precision Sheet Steel Construction for Exact Caliper Positioning
Beginning with precision stamped sheet steel, these adapter plates deliver the rigidity needed to maintain exact caliper alignment on GM 10 and 12 bolt rear axles. Each plate is machined to tight tolerances that preserve the original mounting geometry, ensuring consistent rotor to pad clearance under repeated braking events. This exacting fit prevents uneven pad wear and replicates the engagement characteristics of factory calipers, so drivers enjoy predictable performance from the first install. The inherent strength of the sheet steel resists flex under the increased clamp loads of modern F Body calipers, preserving consistent braking pressure across the pad surface.
Durable Protection Against Corrosion and Environmental Wear
A robust corrosion resistant finish shields the adapter plates from moisture, road grime, and salt exposure, keeping mounting surfaces true and rust free over many seasons. This protective coating forms a barrier that prevents pitting and flaking even in harsh driving environments, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. By guarding the critical interface between axle housing and caliper bracket, the finish helps ensure long term reliability, so stopping performance remains consistent mile after mile. Enthusiasts can drive through wet or winter conditions without concern for compromised brake alignment or bracket integrity.
Streamlined Bolt On Installation with Comprehensive Hardware Kit
The F Body rear brake adapter plates are designed for true bolt on installation that requires only basic hand tools and no welding or axle modification. Machined mounting holes match GM 10 and 12 bolt patterns, and the included hardware kit supplies all necessary fasteners for a complete swap. A step by step guide walks installers through removal of the original brackets, proper torque settings, and final alignment checks, allowing many users to finish the upgrade in a single weekend. This straightforward process eliminates guesswork, reduces shop fees, and keeps project timelines on track.
Upgraded Braking Authority and Pedal Feel
By integrating late model F Body calipers and advanced pad compounds, these adapter plates unlock significantly greater stopping torque and modulation compared to original equipment. Drivers benefit from a firmer pedal feel and more precise control under heavy braking, translating into shorter stopping distances and enhanced confidence during spirited driving or track use. The plates maintain uniform pad contact and consistent rotor engagement, extending service intervals and easing routine maintenance. Whether cruising city streets or tackling back roads, the upgraded rear brakes deliver safer, more controlled stops.
Offering precision alignment and dependable stopping power, these plates support your LS swap with confidence.
