Upgrading to LS1 brake system. Hey guys I want to upgrade the LT1's breaks to a LS1 system, not the corvette just a LS1 Z28 brake system. In order to do this I'll need the the calipers, lines and spindles correct? What else am I missing here. I am upgrading the rear brakes as well, that is what I'm not to sure about. Will I only need the LS1 calipers for the rear?
Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave,
I don't think I'd upgrade the rears. That will just add rear brake bias which most F-bodies don't need. If you do want to upgrade the rears then I think you need the rear brakets as well since the mounting points are not the same.

Thanks Jason, I'll stick with the fronts then. Ah I'd have to change the E brake assembly if I did the rears no thanks lol! Yeah I'll get the front setup then thanks again guys.
But just to brush up here, just the calipers, a new set of LS1 rotors and the spindles and I should be set correct?
