LT1 to LS1 brake swap.

I got a 1994 z/28 auto car 97k. I recently discovered a bad wheel bearing and my brakes are not the greatest doesn’t really have a good pedal. Checked for leaks , only thing is the abs light flashes once in a while, anyone had similar issues? would it be worth it to just go with ls1 brakes, I found all the spindles and calipers for it for $150 shipped.?My question is if I’m gonna be doing all that work up front should I just go ahead and do the swap or what I’ve never driven a ls1 car really so I don’t know the difference? Haven’t had a camaro in a while and dang near forgot everything’s feel.

Add on cash for brake lines. The LT1 stock rubber lines fit, but they stretch when the wheels are hard over. I upgraded to stainless steel lines at the time and found that the C5 lines work the best. This means unfortunately buying 2 sets of lines: a C5 set and an LT1 set that matches your rear end (TC or no TC). I tried the LS set first, but still had length issues on my car.
