- If you're looking to upgrade the brakes on your S10 and don't have the money for a big fancy caliper/rotor swap. Look in to doing the 1998 Blazer front spindle and caliper swap. It is a direct swap and is a nice upgrade compared to what the S10's come with from the factory. There isn't much to it, and is pretty straight forward.
Here is a parts list that you'll need:
Right and Left 98+ Blazer spindle( 2wd or 4wd)
Right and Left 98+ Blazer caliper (2wd or 4wd)
Right and Left 98+ Blazer hub bearings
New ball joints if you'd like

Cool stuff man 👍
Thanks for sharing. Slick S10 this is definitely a sleeper hardwork shows and always pays off. Hope you surgery goes well and see a video of this truck at the track!
Thanks man! Check out some of my newer videos!
@@LsBluu How many inches is the size of the blazer rotor?
If you have a 4wd s10 the 4wd blazer stuff works also
I already did the brake upgrade next will be 1 inch taller upper ball joints, longer brake hose and bump steer kit. More suspension travel and keeps front wheels straight when front end comes up.
That is on my mod list also.
The lug spacing is the same ? I have a 1995 and would love to retain the wheels I'm running now without using spacers. So, it's 98-2003 Blazers , 2 wheel drive that we need to look for ??
I wanted to do this to my new crew cab until I noticed it already comes factory 2 piston. Just a FYI for you pickers out there
What size bolts fit to mount the wheel hub to the spindle? Bought brand new wheel hubs and blazer drop spindles but neither the hubs or spindles came with bolts to mount them
Hi friendfrom PR 🇵🇷 you have the link for the rear shocks??
When you can afford get some trick chassis control arms they are well worth it.
Yeah man, treasure hunting for factory performance parts is the epitome of Hot Rodding!
Although I don’t need any parts from the junkyard anymore, I constantly check through all the S10’s to see what all they have.
@LsBluu the question we need answers for are the blazer dual piston calipers brake line to caliper flex hose. Which one did u use and work? I installed a full Goodridge 14178 kit and only aftera yr or so th3 front passenger ruptured. The supposed oem hush brake fluid pass the bottom crush washer on both when trying to bleed. Both are tight AF. The goodridge lines never leaked and had plenty pressure b4 they ruptured. Now the kit is outbof stock and I can't find just the front steel braided lines.
My 01s10 came with the dual piston calipers from the factory....maybe due to the fact it has HD suspension and towing package....but mine is also 4wd
I believe this is because it was 4wd.
I have a 2001 zr2 s10 but my rear calipers are single piston while the front are dual piston😢.
@@violetknight6427I actually have to do that rear swap, but I’m wondering if anyone sells a big brake kit for the rear maybe a 4 piston or something bigger than a single piston to match the 6 piston corvette brakes I’ll be putting on the front
What long tube headers do you have and do I have a link to them?
How is your brake line configured I haven't found a position I'm comfortable with
Great truck. Appreciate all the videos. I'm currently in the process of my swap. What year of Blazer were the parts pulled from?
98+
I did this swap on my monte carlo. The brakes feel tighter
How about brake hoses? Reuse the s10 hoses, or do you need blazer hoses?
What's the back spacing on them rims
Does anyone know if you need to swap to bigger brake booster and/or master cylinder. Also are the hard brake lines gonna be the same?
I have 96 sonoma and its a bitch fitting later model s10 parts in mine lol. Will the abs sensors hook right up?
When you do the blazer brake swap do the factory s10 steering components fit (inners outers ball joints ect)
Yes. It was a complete direct swap. Super simple.
@@LsBluu how about rear brakes? Do you convert it to disc brake also?
what can i use for my 1996 sonoma ?
Isn't the Blazer calipers the same as the S10 4X4 caliper?
can i use aftermarket 2inch drop spindles with the brake upgrades and i also have QA1 lower tubular control arms
You’d need the blazer drop spindles
Is that 9 inch rearend
I have a 1993 s10 extended cab , I’m interested on doing the same big brake upgrade. Does the blazer brakes have to be from a regular blazer or 4x4 blazer?
Spindle from a 2wd, the brake calipers and brackets can be from either 2wd or 4wd
Wonder if that will fit under the old square body 15's.
I also would like to know if this is a direct swap under the early s10s
Do you know of a front disk brake modification that I can do and be able to use the drop spindles that I just put on my 1998 Sonoma? Thanks, down the road in Louisville.
You'll probably have to get the Blazer drop spindles. or springs.
Will 4wd blazer spindles work on a 2wd s10 if I change the wheel bearings over to 2wd bearings?
No, bottom ball joint faces the other direction and the 2wd bearings will not fit in the 4x4 spindle.
Did this swap on my 91 s10 with the 98 blazer 4wd spindles and components and it did not work, had way too much positive camber sticking the tires outside of the fender, 4wd spindles are much taller. Just to save anyone else the hassle.
Do you know if the blazer upgrade you went over will fit a 1st gen (92 model)?
Yes it will work with 1st gen S10 same exact setup an also any g- body also.
@@desireejackson3312 Thanks!
May i ask, Did you use S10 or Blazer rubber brake lines? Thank You
Blazer
Will this be the same as the 1st gen S10? I would assume so, If you get the 95 Blazer front end parts for a 85 S10
I would think it would work.
@@LsBluu It does 😄
Will this allow me to run any wheels I want on my 94 s10, like a non hub centric wheel?
I would think so. The old style center cap was a real issue for me. Now that I have the new set up the wheel fits a lot better.
@@LsBluu thanks for the response, are you still running the s10 drum styles breaks or did you blazer swap those for disc brake style as well, what was the process of that if so
@@goon4696 I did a ford 9” rearend swap and installed the Quick Performance disc conversion.
What did you use to upgrade the master cylinder
This upgrade was the stock master cylinder.
Did the front end drop even more when you ls swapped it?
(From the extra weight)
I'm wondering if I should do a 2" drop before or after a ls swap. Thanks
Nah it didn’t drop. The weight isn’t on top of the suspension. I’m also still running the factory SS springs.
Thanks for the info.. another question...
Are the dual piston calipers only on blazers? I went to the junkyard yesterday and all of the s10s and jimmys I saw were single piston. There weren't any blazers
Yes, the dual pistons are only in the 98+ blazers if I remember correctly
Thank you sir... appreciate the info
Good luck with your surgery btw , get ready to be bored as hell ....
Will that brake set up work on a 96 S10?
Yes. Mt truck is a 96’.
Doing the front brake swap did you retain your abs?
No abs
@@LsBluu Would the swap still be able to retain ABS? I’m interested in doing the swap if it will work. Thanks for the quick response.
I’m sure you can, I’m not entirely sure how to do that though.
Rear disc brake info??
Quick Performance Disc brake conversion for a 9".
Couldn't you just swap out the Caliper Brackets instead of having to use all the Blazer stuff ???
The bolt holes don’t line up because the new brackets are larger I would assume.
@@LsBluu ohh ok, yeah that would make sense after thinking about it LoL, If I had Lowering Springs in the front I'd definitely do this, but I don't, I've got the 2" Lowering Spindles.... But this is a really good idea tho, I still need to swap out my Drums for the Disc Brakes Conversion Kit that I've got, heck I've had it for like 2+ years now tho LoL, I just need to grab a Proportioning Valve from a Blazer tho for it to work.... I've actually got all kinds of stuff I need to do to my truck, parts that I've collected over the years and now that my truck is done I'll hopefully be able to get some of the stuff done on it 🤞🤞🤞
They also make the blazer drop spindles
Another thing you want to avoid in drag racing is excess weight!! Those blazer brakes look a lot heavier then the S10 brakes. If I'm "upgrading", I'd rather upgrade to something lighter, and stronger.
When I originally did this brake swap, the truck was still a daily driver. And not completely drag racing oriented
But yes you are 100% correct.
Hey bud do u have a email?
Yes, check in my profile.
