ls-1 brake upgrade

Has anyone ever run into trouble with abs sensors not fitting with the ls-1 brake upgrade?

I just read a very interesting discussion about just that issue on the LS1.com forum. The LT1 hubs and LS1 hubs are different, but the sensor for abs is the same and the plug is the same. The signal to the abs sensor is the same. A guy name Bob Bishop at "lateapex@charter.net" appears to be very experienced at LT1/LS1/C5 brake upgrades.

I received my LS1 brakes without hubs. I just used the LT1 hub assemblies from my old spindles since they were still in good shape, with the new LS1 spindles (knuckles, whatever) and it worked great.

Besides aren't hub assemblies like $150 each?

I used the LT1 hubs on my upgrade. They are interchangeable, but I read that the LS1 design has a bearing upgrade. I plan on running my LT1 hubs until I have a problem (if ever).

Perhaps at a dealership, I got my LS1 hubs off ebay for 26 bucks
In answer to the original question you should not have a problem.
