mods if this question has been aswered somewhere else please delete this post and direct me via pm, i did searcha nd turned up no answer, i can get a good deal on an ls1 rear without the brakes... i have a set of brakes from a 96 formula and i was wondering if they would bolt up so i could use them until i get the cash for LS1 brakes all around... thanks for anyones help

 

With the 96 backing plates, I see no reason why the LT1 rotors/calipers wouldn't bolt up.

sorry for not being clearer james... LS1 backing plates with lt1 brakes

 

The design of the backing plates, 89-97, looks nothing like the 98+, so my guess is that there'd be a fitment issue--beyond the fact that the LS1 rotors are thicker (1.25 vs. 1", IIRC) and wouldn't accept the earlier calipers.
