Torque Arm Confusion and LS1 brake question

Can I use a T5 style TA such as Spohn's with my T56? I'm using my stock T5 TA now so I figure a T5 style one will work.

LS1 Brakes: What's the latest on the front LS1 brake conversion? It seems that the spindles need modifying and brackets need to be made? Anyone making/modifying these parts? If so, who, where, how much? Will I have to use 4th gen style wheels?

the t5/700r4 crossmember is different, so i think you will need to get a different one.

Right, but those torque arms mount directly to the crossmember, not the TA mount. Do you see what I'm saying though? I'm using a stock 5-speed TA so shouldn't an aftermarket 5-speed TA go right in it's place?

Howdy... I have next week off so I figure, barring bad weather, there's no reason I can't get mine installed. I'll get back to ya, pics and all.
