lt1 front brakes?
I just put in a lt1 rear in my 88 firebird and was wondering if anyone knew if i could up grade the front brakes to lt1 brakes. Mind you i used this axle because i a running 03 corvette wheels and didnt really want to run spacers in the back

Re: lt1 front brakes?
they arent the same, but arent any better.
if you spend the money go aftermarket or go with the ls1 stuff.

Re: lt1 front brakes?
If I was to put LT1 front brakes on I wouldnt have to run front spacers correct? And if so could I just change out the rotors and cal it good or is there a lot more to it?

Using fourthgen front brakes you need to modify the spindles, grind down the hubs, ect, ect. I think that kit is a good deal.
