Question Converting 94Z brakes to 98-02 Questions

Im converting my 94 Z28 to an LS1. I was wondering what I would have to do to upgrade to the newer brake system? Is it as simple as getting new brake lines, rotor , pads, and calipers for 98 and newer? If so, could I use the Zo6 Calipers? I was thinking of using the rotor kit from Wholesale and brake lines from Earls. Thank you for your help and time.

We did a 1996 recently. Just get the brake hoses, calipers, rotors, pads, spindles and the metal clip that hooks the brake line to the body (where it meets the hard line in the inner fender). The bracket is different for the LS1 hoses. Swap out the old parts for the new parts and bleed the brakes. It really is that easy (other than getting the ball joints apart and such).

Have fun!

How about the rear brake set up. Do I have to mode anything to make the new ones work?
