New ERA Project...

Does anyone know if the ERA front spindles are a stock GM item or do they make their own?

We've made our own uprights for about 10 years. Before that, we modified the Camaro ones by shortening the steering arm. The new ones use a bolt-on intermediate bracket that mounts the caliper. It's a relatively simple thing to mount almost any caliper as long as the offset is within specs.

Thanks for the info! My car is chassis #2048 and is about 14yrs old. Also, the offset for the 6 piston brake kit is -1/4" so I'm thinking with adding the 5 pin adapters at +3/8" that I'll be pretty close to the original wheel position. It just occurred to me, I wonder if the 5 pin wheels have a different offset to compensate for the adapters?
