McGauheys, and CPP both have conversion rotors.

Or if your rotors are good you can have them re-drilled cheaper.

Lt Duty (1" vs 1.25" thick rotor) C10 brake systems will allow the Camaro front rotors to interchange It requires the lt duty spindle, rotor, & caliper.

If you have the 1.25" thick rotor combo, it might be cheaper to re-drill or purchase rotors set-up w/the car pattern.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The Camaro front rotors are all different.The bearings are all different.The seals are all different and the lips that hold the grease caps over the bearings are different.

The best way to go about it is to go to the closest auto supply store full of teenagers and pick up a rotor.Now take it home and see if it fits and take note of what doesn't fit.

Now go back to the auto supply house and get one that better matches up.
After you repeat this process 3-4 times your all set.

I did this at a wrecking yard one day and spent the whole afternoon turning rotors.The guy at the wrecking said hey what are you trying to pull here so I explained to him that all the old rotors were turned with new bearings in them and that he kept selling me the wrong part and all was good.

Ask for 1LE rotors for a 88-92 Camaro.
