My 98+ LS1 Brake swap

I've mostly gotten her completed, I just need to adjust the parking brake mechanism a bit better. For now, you can check my website under Suspension/Brakes.

I'll probably take the time out later to post some of the pix in this post just in case I lose my website or it's down or something.

I used a wire wheel attachment in my drill. Took the stuff out lickety split - but you'll have to go back with a small wire brush for the tight areas. I got my weatherstripping from a guy off of ebay that sells them all the time - do a search there for it under weatherstrip. I could have replaced it with a rear from a fourth gen but my rear tires already stick out too much as it is and that would have exacerbated the problem.
