Better Brakes??? I have access to a totaled 2002 SS Camaro and I planning on buying the bigger brakes and installing them on my 95 Z28 and I was wondering what all parts I would need to do a full conversion for all 4 wheels. I believe right now I have 10'' disc and the new brakes are 11''?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
The LT1 Brakes are 11"x1.0", with a Steel single-piston Caliper. The LS1 Brakes are 12"x1.3", with a dual-piston Aluminum Caliper. They are a nice upgrade, and if you don't have front ABS, they are a direct bolt-in.
The way to keep the ABS is to switch out the LS1 Hubs with your LT1 Hubs. You have to take it all apart. As far as the C5 Brakes, someone makes a bracket that bolts on to the LS1 Spindle. That is another nice feature.

yea... and for the LS1 fbody upgrade you need the same, i think the lines are close but the bango bolts are different..
i looked up the hubs... they are the exact same for 93-02 Fbodies... so you can keep your hubs and retain your ABS..

Verdad Gallardo the sensor is part of the hub i thought....im pretty sure its one piece... i just always bought the hub assymbly and it comes with the sensor... so they are the same..
yea, i dont have it either... but just in case he finds some used ones off the LS1 car, it will work... the sensor is part of the hub... i had to use some on mine when my hubs went out...

((you only need to do the front.. not the rear... you need basicall the the spindle and everything attached to it.... it fits right in...))
I thought the LS1 had new calipers in all 4 wheels there called BOSCH or something like that.

yes they do... but the rear has a drum and hat design... the ebrake is inside the rotor as to the LT1 ebrake works through the caliper... and the bolts dont mate up for the rear brackets... your rear brakes are fine... just need more stopping power up front..
