I need brake advice with the parts I have!

Hey guys.

I just recently recived my Moser 9" diff that is setup for LT1 brakes. I have a complete set of LT1 front/rear brakes with all the parts. I am not sure if lt1 front brakes will fit, and doubt fabbing stuff up to fit them would be worth it. Here is what I want to do, and need suggestion:

REAR:
Use the LT1 rear aluminum calipers, cables and lines.
Get LT1 aftermarket slotted (or crossdrilled) rotors and matching pads.

FRONT:
I am under the impression that ls1 front brakes can be made to work, with GTA wheels, with a spacer. I don't have any front ls1 brakes, so I would need all the parts.

I would like to run all new rotors/pads. Keeping that in mind, what should I do? Find LS1 calipers, buy aftermarket ls1 rotors/pads to match my rear lt1 stuff, or, just go with a complete aftermarket front brake setup for the car. Who makes something good that will fit under the GTA 16" wheel?


Now, the car was a drum brake rear and all the stock lines, master cylinder and prop. valve are still in place. I also have a '87 GTA disk brake master cylinder and prop. valve. Also, I have a '94 lt1 parts car with all that stuff still in place. What should I use? I think I'll have to run new lines if I use the '87 GTA setup. Should I just get aftermarket prop. valve (adjustable)???

Thanks a lot guys.
