correct bolts on to factory LS1 spindles with a few washers to line em up correctly. requires 18" rims minimum.

I'm guessing no for this line of logic:

To swap to LS1 brakes, LT1 people have to swap in LS1 spindles.
If they were the same, why bother?

Nope. LT1's have an old style spindle with the caliper bracket built into it.

You would need to swap to LS1 spindles to do the conversion.
