LS1 brake conversion
HI Guy's
Who the best company/person to get the brackets, spindles and hubs from for an LS1 conversion. I've just bought a set of calipers, brackets and disks. Not going to use the disk as I've heard they warp easily. It all came as a package deal.
Thanks,
Alex

Re: LS1 brake conversion
I am cering the LS1 upgrade too, but as I am in Australia I want to save on shipping on the heavy items, so I would like to get a kit and then mod my own spindles, Ed can you PM me the cost of a kit with slotted+drilled rotors and painted calipers?

Re: LS1 brake conversion
hey ed, hate to bombard you with requests. i think i'm going to do this upgrade as well. but only if i can REALLY afford it. i guess what i'm saying is all i need is a set of caliper brackets. i have my own machine shop, but not interested in doing the math/fab to create the bracket. i got the rotor to hub thing down. i can get cheap calipers and pads, i just need the caliper brackets.

Long holiday weekend, sorry. Can you PM with your full ship to address and info? And do you have a preferred shipping company like Fed Ex or DHL, etc.?

Re: LS1 brake conversion
I am getting ready to install my LS1 kit on to my 91Z. I am pretty sure I have everything covered, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned is the brake lines. Is the hose length and the fittings at the calipers the same from the 3rd gen to the LS1 calipers? I bought new stainless braided lines and I haven't compared the ends or the lengths yet. Just trying to get ready for what problems may lie ahead.
