what is needed for ls1 rear brake swap
i did a search but didnt find anything. like the title says, i am planning on finishing my whole car soon and am putting a moser 12 bolt rear in and will be using the ls1 backing plates, aftermarket rotors and c5 calipers but im not sure what is needed to make the e brake work and if my hard lines and hose will work that are on my rear now ( stainless steel and i hate to have to get or make new ones for the new set up.

Re: what is needed for ls1 rear brake swap
I'm in the process of doing similar. I would use f body calipers 100% bolt in. Rear of these cars don't need lots of force. And I hear the c5 caliper is only a little stronger.it's hard to tell if you have the right lines if not, flynbye.com has the stuff you need for swap. $$$$
Re: what is needed for ls1 rear brake swap
Thanks for the feedback on this. I will have to check them out for the parts. I would just use the f body calipers since im not to worried about the minimal clamping difference from them and the vette calipers but i already have c5 zo6 calipers up front and i want the rears to match...red powder coat so its easier just to use the zo6 rears since they are done from the factory already
