I have no idea how to tell the difference or anything...I know almost nothing about brakes to be honest. I know what a twin-piston caliper is, but how do I tell if they are twin-piston or not? Mine are powdercoated red with a "CAMARO SS" decal on the side of it. My fronts look NOTHING like my rears and I KNOW my rears are stock.
Sorry for the ignorance, I am trying to educate myself before I even TRY to take on new rotors...wanna make sure I get the right stuff.

You just need to go to your local wrecking yard and get the complete spindle off of an LS1 car, Spindle, calipers and rotor...Once you install these you will have to get an alignment done...
Calipers, rotors, spindles, new cotter pins, longer brake line. I bought the J&M LT1 style stainless steel lines for mine.
just for more referance for the future......
The stock brake lines compared to the J&M
The difference between the spindles. Left is the LT1, Right is the LS1
Differences In the Calipers. Left is LS1 right is LT1.
All the Ls1 stuff. pretty straight forward swap

I am not too worried about the rears being a PITA. I am building an entire 8.8 rear end and gonna install the LS1 rears on that when i do the rear swap.
I am losing my ABS thanks to this 8.8 rear end so I dont have to worry about that either.
