LT1 to CTS-V brakes
I just wanted to check if I buy a set of bare 98-02 spindles, do the LT1 hubs bolt on and will the sensor plug right in?
While we're at it, heres my parts list for anyone considering the swap.
Calipers ~$232:
Pin kit ~$15:
Rotors and pads approx ~$185:
Brakemotive CTS-V fronts with LT1 rears
SS brake lines (full set) approx ~$135:

Wheel spacers- Eibach hub centric 15mm (running ZR1 reps 17x9.5 front) ~$120:
http://www.importpartspro.com/906150...FedxOgodUAsArA
And finally 98-02 spindles approx ~$100
Let me know if you see anything thats missing or know of anything used/ cheaper

Anyone?
From what I found it looks like the spindles are identical except for the caliper mounting holes.
Another question- I have a new LT1 master cylinder to install when I overhaul my brakes, should I switch to the LS1 style in this swap? Not sure if the bore size is different and how far it would get thrown off.
Last one- If I opt for the Camaro SS rotors, the caliper will bolt up correctly to the spindle without any spacers and the pads will wear evenly. All I have to do is get the centers bored to match our bores correct? I'm confused as to if I'll still need spacers if I do this, I guess there is only one way to find out..
Time to start ordering.
