Useful information for anyone wanting to do LS1 brake conversion
Just found out the 98+ V6 3.8 f-bodies have LS1 brakes equipped. Might be able to score them cheaper at the yards. Just FYI.

There is a difference between the early LS1 front calipers and the late model LS1 front calipers. I dont know the cutoff year, but I do know that 2001 F bodies have different calipers (bigger and nicer looking) than the 1998 F bodies.

...Read information incorrectly, as far as I know, the v6 3.8 f-bodies from 98+ are the same as the LS1 equipped f-bodies.
