I have the 1LE brakes on the front of my car. I was wondering how these rate compared to other brakes of similar size. I am going to upgrade my pads soon and I was wondering what a good brand is. I have also been considering swapping in an LS1 master cylinder. Would there be any advantage? I have read they are a superior design.

 

All things being equal (rotor size, caliper design, pads and maybe braided lines), I'd guess the 1LE's do as well as any.

Braided lines are on the wish list. I was thinking about slotted rotors first. I was wanting more info on the LS1 mc. I have read conflicting posts on the thread pitch and line length.

 

From what I understand, the LS1 mc will bolt directly to your booster. The two front brake lines will need to be re-bent a bit to fit. It also has a larger piston creating better line pressure. The fittings thread right in.
From what I understand.

 

I have searched for answers on the topic without much luck. This is a start. I have been looking for some comparisons involving performance as well.
