Default Difference in LT1 and LS1 Rear Brakes

What's the difference? I just got some F-Body rear brakes for free, and the rotors measure 11.5". They also have the internal drum parking brake. I thought the LS1 rear rotors were 12"? I'd look at my own TA but not even near it right now haha

I thought the difference was just the parking brake system, not sure offhand

Internal parking brake means they are from a 98+ car.

93-97 cars used a style simullar to 3rd gen PBR brakes. I believe the 98+ rotors are larger, as some people swap to the LT1 style so they can run a smaller 15" wheel. Although, I've got LS1 rear discs on my 3rd gen which has a set of 15" rollers on it right now and they clear just fine.
