yes but it will be much more expensive than changing the spindles to ls1.

I have a site that has a bunch of conversion sets for REALLY cheap (like $650 for dual piston vette setup, all you need + rotors). Compared to what you'll spend on junkyard parts $250~ for 98+ setup.

From what I remember though, all the 98-02 use the same, V6 and V8.

Well I have a 99+ rear and I never use my e-brake, so I don't care about that lol The extra braking (even though it's only .3" over LT1s) isn't going to hurt anything Sometime in the near future I'd like to upgrade my fronts. As much as I'd like to get the Vette brake conversion, I'll be going with the LSx setup since I most likely won't have the money for it :\

i like the e- brake set up better 98-02 personally
i mainly changed cause i needed to do brakes at all 4 corners,my Lt1 e-brake cable broke a year prior and the $4$ aspect took place and lastly the Lt1 rear rotors looked real small with the 19"c6s.
