I just had 12 bolt posi gone through by Js Gear. Installed CPP disc brake conversion. I have multi-leaf staggered shocks. The driver side caliper is positioned at 2 o-clock and interferes with the shock mounting. Do not have same issue on passenger side as shock sits to front of axle.
Someone addressed this without in-board shock relocation?
Thanks

The drivers side calipar on a 69 Camaro goes in front of the the axle housing. make sure you have the bleeders facing up when installed correctly

From Kore3 kit info:
Vehicles equipped with staggered shocks may require two left hand calipers for proper caliper bleeder screw placement. The brackets are ambidextrous and can be installed facing forward or rearward, inline with the pinion. If you select the "Staggered Shock" option below, we will supply your kit with (2) left hand calipers.
I can see how a shop could have made the mistake since the shock mounts are not attached to the rearend. Hopefully you get it worked out. :thumbsup:

CPP originally gave me a wrong set and I took to my rearend builder. They called me later that day and said oops! I when back and they exched a caliper by they seemed confused - right no left no?
I have contacted them and they will swap out this week end.
Thanks again guys for the support! :thankyou:
