i work at a parts store and they list different master cylinders between lt1 and ls1 cars will putting ls1 brakes on an lt1 car with the different master cylinder and i assume different rear brakes affect the proportioning of the brakes system
guys who have done the conversion please chime in

If you have the resources you can get the stock spindle cut, but I think its less a pain in the *** to change the spindles. I did it and I am happy! Went with Baer decelarotors for ls1 cars for the rotors, cause the setup I bought didn't include rotors.

I did it too. Bought everything between the ball joints. ~150 miles so far. Feels good, even with my 3900 lb sled. 
Only problem I've had was a weird one. My battery was 99% dead, so I could barely start my car. I got frequent ABS INOP lights with this. Scanned it with a Snap On 2500, came back with ABS/Shorted codes on the front sensors. Stuck a new battery in the car, everything's fine. I left the dome light on for a couple days (ran the new battery down, oops). ABS code came back. Charged the battery back up, no more ABS INOP light. Have put more miles on, no problem. Like I said, weird. Only happened when the battery was almost dead.
