rotars on a 4th gen?
Re: rotars on a 4th gen?
No. 93-97 LT1s have different front and rear rotors than the 98-02 LS1s. Yes, you will need 98+ (aka LS1 rotors...and other parts) if you're planning to installing into an LT1 car.
What you're talking about is an LS1 brake upgrade. Try a search for this and you'll see plenty of posts about what parts are needed, how to do the upgrade, and where to buy used/new parts.

dude, first off, ROTOR...not rotar. secondly, ebay would probably be the best bet (unless you know someon who owns a junk yard) for the complete setup for the 98+ brake upgrade. it comes with the rotors, calipers, spindles, even the bearings. just take off the spindle as a whole from your lt1 car and put on the spindle as a whole from the 98+ car. really simple. but you're going to need an alignment if you do so.
the 98+ unit costs about 150-300, depending on where you go and who wants them at the time (ebay usually gets about 200). but if you want some real brakes there is the 97+ corvette brake upgrade that is fairly cheap for what you get. mounting brackets, pads, pad brackets, hoses, all for about 600-700 from lgmotorsports.com (98+ section, brakes). i would suggest this if you want better brakes. yeah it's overkill, but i think it's necessary overkill with these cars. especially if you plan on doing any serious power upgrades on the car.

Re: rotars on a 4th gen?
so when my girlfriend converts her 95 V6 to 98+ discs, she just needs the front spindles, and the rear axle assembly? we found a 98+ V6 already
she's also wanting a posi diff and lower gears...we can do that seperately
is the master cyl the same?? what about the rear brake lines??

Re: rotars on a 4th gen?
all you need to change is the spindles, you dont need anything esle. there are so many threads on this...
if you want to get a posi rear, you'll have to pull it off a z or forumla/ta. they came from the factory. if she has an auto and wants some serious torque, get the rear from a manual car. 3.42 gears are awesome for a auto car.
