Who has a LT1 that upgraded to LS1 brakes, I have a ? I have a 1995 Z28 and I have a set of LS1 rear brakes I would like to install.
I heard that the axle length between LT1 cars and LS1 cars are slightly different.
Can I use the current LT1 axles in conjunction with the LS1 brakes or will they rub causing me to buy LS1 axles?

When i swapped my rears i maintained the Lt1 rear axle for a year or so with NO issues, yes there is a slight difference but it did not affect anything in a negative manner...I did however swap to an Ls1 rearend simple because it already had 4.10s in it and a zexel-torsen
awesome gain i might add! Lastly, you have to get the Ls1 front brakes your car is beggin for it LOL!

I have to disagree with that, i had NO issues with my Lt1 rear brakes however when i swapped the rear to Ls1 it was a great improvement plus the parking brake works much better with the new design...

Although I apreciate the adivse about weither or not to preform the swap my question is not about that. Is about reusing the LT1 axles.
One reply says I cant...
The other reply says I can...
I just want to know if I can use the LT1 axles or not.
