You might be able to swap the calipers side to side and mount them to the rear. I'm not sure what all needs to be swapped around but I believe others have done it.

Yes. The spindles can be swapped sides making the calipers mount on the rear. Back when I had a 66 Barracuda Formula S ( :cry: ) I wanted to keep the factory sway bar and install disc brakes. i did the research and determined that the spindles could be swapped sides, the calipers would move to the back of the spindle, but I would have to use a long brake rubber line such as one from a 80 Volare.

Did you contact Firmfeel? They have always been more than helpful whenever I call. I have the rotors on the fornt of my '70 e-body and the swaybar fits with no problems.

At one point, before I decided I wasn't able to get the correct brake hoses, I had the calipers mounted on the front of my '68 a-body and everything fit fine with the Just Suspention swaybar on it. It's the swaybar that uses the lower bolt on the front shock to attach the swaybar mount. Firmfeels has better mounting brackets for serious track use, but the Just Suspention one works beautifully for spirited road driving.
