Default LS1 Brake conversion?

What all parts are needed for an LS1 front brake conversion on a 95 Z28?


Thanks!

Sometimes keeping "junk" around has its rewards lol.

Left over from what?

You could actually retain the 95 hubs - if you wanted to

Another item some people use are the LS1 brake line brackets

Back when I had my LS1 Formula the power steering rack went out. I bought a whole front end from a guy for $100 and only used the steering rack and just kept the k-member, upper/lower a-arms, shocks, brakes, etc in my warehouse thinking someday I might use them.

Of course that was 6 years ago but the day has finally come for me to use something off of it

Probably a wrecked LS1 car in a junkyard.

I got the complete front spindles with the hubs and calipers etc... on ebay for $180 shipped. So I'd hit up ebay, seem to have that setup on there a lot.

I got all my stuff from a F-body Junkyard, paid $150. They are a nice mod, and they do fit under the stock Salad Shooters. I won $20 off of a bet on that.

Correct me if Im wrong, but Im pretty sure that the 98-02 V6 cars had the same brakes as the LS1 cars.
