1LE Brakes?
How can I tell if I have these brakes? My car is a 87 Iroc original 305 5-speed car with disc brakes all around. I do have the ls1 rear set up already. But I would like to know how you might be able to tell if the fronts are 1LE. Did these only come on 350 cars?

Re: 1LE Brakes?
They only came on 1LE cars, and B4C's.
If the caliper is cast iron, they're standard brakes. If it's aluminum with two pistons, it's 1LE.

Re: 1LE Brakes?
Hey Thanks guys! So cast iron is standard, and aluminum is 1LE. I will have to check on this tonight. I don't know what a Vbgarage is, but I would like to see this setup. I appreciate the fast response, and thanks again!
