lt1/ls1 suspension questions

I decided to get another camaro,an ls1.I already have a fully built/stroked lt1 car and i plan on spraying it for a season or 2 and then once the motor's had enough,i want to put my suspension parts in the ls1 car.Will everything swap over from the rear suspension(i know the fronts are different)...but will my torque arm(spohn adj) lca's,panhard bar, rear sway bar ,etc fit the ls1(it should right??). I'm also goin to want to swap my 12 bolt into the ls1 but i know the ls1 cars have a 4 channel abs w/ tcs can i modify my existing 12 bolt for this or will i have to sell it and get one specific to an ls1 car??...thanks for any help you guys can give me

Re: lt1/ls1 suspension questions

I know the rear is exactly the same or darn close. I have SLP suspension from an LS1 in my car. Works great. Don't know about the 12bolt. Might want to ask about that in Drivetrain section.

Re: lt1/ls1 suspension questions

Rear suspension should sway right over.

As for the 12-bolt, the 4-channel setups put the ABS pickup out by the rotors, while 3-channel (non TCS cars) had it inside the center section on a reluctor ring. Switching it over can be done, but it'd be a chore, unless your LT1 car came w/ TCS.
