ok, Im doing the ls1 brake swap. Do i have to bleed all four brakes for this, or do i just do the front that im swapping out? The rear brakes are not being touched at all, just gonna swap out the front brakes... any help?

Better safe to bleed all four and the ABS unit. Start at the rear passenger side and work your way forward.

i painted and prepped them.....hardent part was getting the old knuckles off. I dont know how they just slid off for other people...i guess they are tapered, so i have to bang on them with a hammer while using the jack to push them. it was a bitch to say the least, and the ball joints got ripped up in the process...now, i gotta replace them and get the alignment. Oh, i got my kit off of ebay btw, came with everything
