Disc Brakes - Rear

NOTE: Rear disc brakes are optional equipment on Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models.

Rear disc brakes are a single piston sliding caliper type. An integral parking brake is used, with an automatic adjusting provision. Brake rotors are made of cast iron, with 2 machined braking surfaces separated by cooling fins. On some cars, a groove is machined in center of the braking surface to aid in reducing braking noise.
