Default LS1 brakes fit on LT1 rearend?

I bought an LT1 rearend for my car. Lt1 has 3.42 gears mine has 2.73. I just want a clear answer. Do i need LT1 brake calipers pads and rotors or will my brakes transfer to the LT1 rear end? thanks for the help.

You will need LT1 pads, rotors, rear e-brake cables at a minimum. If you already have the old LS1 brakes, it would be stupid to not switch them to the new rearend. LT1 rear parking brakes sucks ***. The switch over would be simple and nothing else would be needed. BTW make sure the LS1 axles stay with the LS1 brakes and the LT1 axles stay with the LT1 brakes regardless of what you do. They are different length.
