both are ten bolts, rear brakes are like an inch bigger but not that much bigger. besides front brakes do 75% of the work i wouldnt worry about it and save up for a 12 bolt

you will just need to switch the backing plates on the rear. since ls1 rear brakes are mounted in front as opposed to the lt1 rear brakes that are mounted on the back side. unless your getting the ls1 calipers/ rotors also then dont worry about it

yeah...the rear was free...labor is super cheap...thought about doing it as a temp thing till I get a shot at a better rear. I want to powdercoat the calipers too, my fronts are red and backs are stock...wanna make the backs red too
