quick question on brakes...
in all the ls1 and c4&c5 brake swaps, you all are starting with 1le stuff right. can i do the swap with the plain jane brakes. will the bracketry be the same? i know i have to cut one of the ears off the spindle. am i in the wrong by taking my rotors and turning them down to 5.9 diameter for the vette or ls1 rotors, and i can fab the brackets, is the spindle going to work or do i have to get the 1le's? i have not done a swap like this before so please bear with the silly questions. i am putting a 4th gen rear in from with the wilwood 6 pistons already on it from a grand american gt class trans am racecar.3.23 limited slip w/o clutches

cutting the ears off the spindle, is making it a 1le spindle. when you do the 1le conversion, you have to cut those off.
