Default billet specialties fronts ??
What is the correct backspacing for the 15" fronts?? I am also getting conflicting answers on if a spacer is needed.

1.625 inches is the correct back spacing. I don't think you need spacer with LS1 brakes, although I'm unsure. So look into that.

Thank you, that is the backspacing I thought it was. I will see what I can find out about the spacer.

you do need a spacer with the 98-02 brakes. I believe the one we use is 7/16".

You can also "clearance" the calipers just as you would do with Welds and not run a spacer

^^^ What he said. I grinded the calipers on the front and it was very minimal on my billet streetlites, no spacer.
