hey i'm looking to do a rear disc conversion before i get new wheels next spring or summer. and i found a kit for $150 it's off of a '96 T/A. i read the link about switching from 3rd gen drums to LS1 discs but i was just wondering if that same process works for LT1 brakes. are the 2 brake systems the same or what kind of differences are there that i should be aware of before buying the kit?

 

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the LT1 conversion is a lot easier than the LS1 conversion. Since it is basically the same thating that came on 89-92 3rd-gens.


At least that is why I chose LT1 rear brakes.

The reason LT1 brakes are easier is that the parking brake will be easier to hook up. Some of the brackets may also fit better.

 

awesome just what i like to hear.

 

Here is some more info on my conversion and some pics from the process...
