lt1 front brakes?
I just put in a lt1 rear in my 88 firebird and was wondering if anyone knew if i could up grade the front brakes to lt1 brakes. Mind you i used this axle because i a running 03 corvette wheels and didnt really want to run spacers in the back

they arent the same, but arent any better.
if you spend the money go aftermarket or go with the ls1 stuff.

do a search in the brake forum. there are fair amounts of threads on this.
i believe ed makes a pretty much bolt on kit.

Re: lt1 front brakes?
If I was to put LT1 front brakes on I wouldnt have to run front spacers correct? And if so could I just change out the rotors and cal it good or is there a lot more to it?

Re: lt1 front brakes?
Using fourthgen front brakes you need to modify the spindles, grind down the hubs, ect, ect. I think that kit is a good deal.
