You could always use the 1LE spare on the rear. If a front goes flat, swap a good rear rim to the front and put the spare on the rear. Of couse this will only work if the front rim and rear rims have the same bs and offset.

 

i have a question about this upgrade as well as another. i have heard about this upgrade with a ls1 master cylinder. would a lt1 master work too? is it just as good? i want to also get a ls1 rear but if i can only get a lt1 is it also just as good? what differences?

 

The LS1 master cylinder swap can be done but I wouldn't call it a necessary need, the stock master should do fine. I would only swap if yours was bad. The difference in LT1 and LS1 rears are brake design and any ABS stuff on the rears, that's it. The LS1s got better posis (IE Torsens) but a LT1 rear will be fine.

The LT1 master cylinder is not a direct swap because the front port is not the same size as the thirdgen F-body. The LT1 and LS1 MC have the same bore size but the LS1 MC has the correct thread size so you can use a LS1 MC if you are interested in that.

The best bolt in MC seems to be the 84-88 rear disc MC which has a 1.42" front bore and 1" rear bore. You can compare them here: http://www.lukeskaff.com/car/brakes/...e_options.html

Ed,

I sent you 2 follow up e-mails regarding my rear brakes but never heard back from you. I'm still wanting to place my order once I decide what to go with based on the queries I had.

Thanks,

Robert

 

so if i get a ls1 rear disk i gotta switch my master only because im going from drum to disk. however it is not required for the 13brake?

 

Oops, sorry about that. I'll go back and check them tonight and reply. Thanks!

Ed

 

Thanks Ed. I'm on holiday now so may not be able to reply until I get back, but I will maybe try calling you to order the items. They will be going to the UK.
