The easiest would be to just upgrade to LS1 spindles. Just get a pair used from online or the salvage yard. Bolt them on, then attach your LS1 calipers, lines, and rotors, and you're all set.

i did this swap on my TA this summer and im really pleased with my results. i bought a full used ls1 swap off ebay. i used the spindles it came with and painted them black. i bought duralast blank rotors (autozone) because ive heard slotted drilled rotors do little to help braking and the cheaper duralast ones came with a warranty. i replaced the caliper pins just to be safe, got some good hawk hps pads and bled the brakes to finish it off. pretty straightforward install and very rewarding. just be careful not to mess up your ball joints/tie rod ends if you use a pickle for for removal
