Not really hard may a 3hr if your a rookie, basicly brakelines, rotors,calipers, and spindles which is only a couple bolts.:) But honestly I give it 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.

I'd give it more than a 2 but maybe i just suck...

That is your guide..

I'd give it a 4 out of 10.. Mainly time consuming...

And make sure you put the calipers on the correct sides. Look at the bleeder valves on the stockers and put the ls1's in the same place.. thats what i screwed up on.

Will the LS1 disc/caliper upgrade work on factory sized 16" rims? I have a set of polished ZR1 style wheels on my Firebird and I've been wanting to upgrade the brakes for a while now. Will the LS1 brakes fit in my 16's or am I better off going with powerslot rotors or something ? What's my best option for my
16's ?

LS1 calipers will work with 16inch rims.

U wont notice much difference with stock pads and powerslot rotors..

The pads themselves more of a factor in braking.

The LS1 calipers and spindles are no different on cars with either 16 or 17 inch wheels.
