Re: ls1 front brake swap to 3rd gens
modified spindles, hubs, brakes themselves, longer wheel studs. not hard really. buying or making the brackets?

The 4th gen spindles won't work on these cars? Avoiding having to buy brackets and modifying the current spindles?

Those wont fit a 15" wheel, I believe a c4 setup will though. Spindle mod and hub is stupid easy if you are able to do it yourself. You can also take it to a machine shop and have them do it. Shouldnt be more than an hour or two in labor

Re: ls1 front brake swap to 3rd gens
some aftermarket wheels will clear lsi rear brakes.i swapped in a 2000 rear end and my 15" wheels barely clear.i still haven't added the front lsi brakes so im not sure about that.
