I have got an 8.5 rear coming for my bu. While I am at it I want to do some rear disks. What have you guys done? I will be running c-clip eliminators. Anyone done this with a setup from one of the circle track places like Speedway or Coleman? Such as these:

or

What about a swap from an F body or something?

Also what master cylinder should I use specificly. I know I need one for a disk/disk setup, but what year make and model? What about combo valve?
Thanks!

I made my own brackets and used a set of metric calipers on a set of ls1 Camaro rotors. I couldn't find any other rotors that fit over the end of my axles.
