1LE Brake upgrade parts alternative idea
Ok,I read somewhere[I think 1LE.org] about the history of the 1LE F-bodys.It said that the regular brakes were crapy,so they wanted the bigger brakes from the Caprices.Now, the Caprices should have that 1LE spindle thingamabob that everyone needs.Couldn't you just use the Caprice brake spindle and bolt it onto the F-Bodys? 
There are a ton of Caprices out there.

Chaotic Firehawk can be found wondering NEThirdgen.org and 3rdgen.org
"A musclecar, by definition, is a powerful and sporty vehicle that must be able to spin its tires at will. The Firebird Trans Am is capable of laying down twin black streaks of rubber several hundred feet long. We wanted to be sure it could, so we did it a half dozen times in the name of automotive science."-MotorTrend

Without going into yet another long winded technical explanation.The Caprice spindle idea definitly won't work.
