I think I am ready to swap the LS1 front brake system on to my 96 Lt1 Z28 Camaro. From this picture, can you tell if I have everything I need to swap the front brake system over?

I have the stock LS1 brake lines coming out of the calipers....will those work? there is lots of information out there, I just cant get a clear answer of what I need.



thanks

Looks good. Do you have banjo bolts and the copper sealing washers?

I've read that LT1 and LS1 lines were too short, but could be made to work by bending the brackets. I just went out and got some C5 lines and they worked nicely.

All I have is what is in this picture. What will the banjjo bolts and washers be needed for?

Are LS1 and LT1 lines from the master cylinder different?

The banjo bolts connect the brake hose to the caliper. The copper washers seal this connection. They are a must.

You don't need to worry about the hard lines, just the hoses. You can probably get the LS1 hoses to work, but if you want to be safe you can pick up a longer set of C5 hoses. I posted a want ad on a corvette forum and got a used set for free.

Your gonna need longer brake lines. When I did my swap on my 96 the LS1 brake lines were shorter and where really tight turned lock to lock so you may want to invest in some custom stainless lines. really cant be more than $40 to be safe.
