Default Lt1/ls1 rear brake swap

Do LT1 rear brakes bolt directly into an LS1 car? I have a set of Summit Draglites 15's that can't go on without grinding 1/2 the calibers away. I hope someone can help, i'm tired of grinding. Thanks

what about the front brakes,,, everything i keep reading is about LS1to an LT1 swap, and i want to go the other way, as anybody changed from LT1 to an LS1 brake set up. i have calipers front & rears , new 12" rotors, spindles, brake lines, back plates, proport value,etc. is there any thing else i'll need before i go and tear the car down.

I would also like to know if the backing plates are the same. I want to change my rear LT1 brakes to LS1 brakes.

Yarrie, want to trade rear brakes?
