did my LS 1 brake swap om my LT 1 TODAY

well it was the best 250.00 i spent took me 2 hrs to do the whole change over it stops 100% better than it did was preety simple to get done i got LS 1 brake lines and the brackets made it easy if you can get the lines and brackets you dont have as much problems like i ve read i was thinking it was gone to be a all day job and new brake lines all you need to do is get the LS 1 brake lines and frame brACKETS turn the bracke lines so they come up toward the top of the car and make the frame bracket straight and pull the steel line from the car out a little and your done

Re: did my LS 1 brake swap om my LT 1 TODAY

I have LS1 brakes on the front and rear of my 94. I had to buy a 97 or later spare to fit the brakes. The junk yard I bought the spare from told me the spare was changed in 97 even though the brakes weren't changed untill 98.
They are both donuts. If you only change the front you can use your original spare on the rear and move a rear tire to the front if you have a flat on the front.

Re: did my LS 1 brake swap om my LT 1 TODAY

yep.. just make sure u pick up some good rotors...

I got some stock LS1 rotors with my LS1 brake upgrade... Warped the hell out of them.. People have good luck with autozone cheap rotors if ur on a budget.

A very worthwhile mod.

Re: did my LS 1 brake swap om my LT 1 TODAY

Ive never used it but ive heard and seen on this site that the autozone rotors .. not sure which brand were superior to the stockers...

I bought some rotors off ebay. slotted.
I dont trust crossdrilled.

havent put em on yet. They look good though..
