What Parts for LS1 brake swap?
 

I'm looking to do an LS1 brake swap on my 96 LT1 formula and I was wondering all the parts I would need to do it. There is a kit on bigbrakeupgrade.com but they don't include a list of all the parts. I've seen on another forum that Contemporary Corvette sells most of the parts for cheap but before I order anything I'd wanna know all the parts so I know what kind of price id be paying and if it would be worth it to do it separately or just order it from the website.

you need the LS1 spindles, brake lines, rotors, calipers and pads.

Use the LT1 hubs and put them in th LS1 spindles because for some reason the ABS light will set off.

LCAs?

no. just the spindles

you need to your spindles modiflied to work, you also need to get your rotors cut donw to hubs and buy the brackets witch the calys bolt up on, you keep your stock front aarms, and yes you would need the ls1, calys, rotors, pads. hardcore ( paul ) worte an artical on the c5 converstion but the same idea is done.

no there spindles wont work. wait if this is for the 96 in your sig then yes there spindles and other stuff sorry thought it was for a 3rd gen.

dude .. no. Thats for thirdgens. If you read, you would see that he wants to do it on a 96 Formula.

I did it, and i listed what i used.

Forgot to mention that everything costed me 150 bucks from contempory corvette. I did buy new rotors, pads and calipers (old ones used as cores) though, so that raised the price

yea i know, i relized after the fact.

i went to the junk yard and got the whole spindles and bolt them in useing the lt1 brake line and the ls1 hub and have no abs light well i do but it for the rear sensor

thanx for the input, ill probably give contemporary corvette a call soon. Im def gonna get new rotors and pads but it seems alot cheaper than the kit from bigbrakeupgrade.com

Look at this link it is incredibly useful

wow thats a great thread thanx it'll come in handy when I have to do the swap

Got all the stuff from Contemporary Corvette for $150 like you said deadtrend1, and i also bought Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads to replace the used ones. I sanded out the surface rush and painted the knuckles and caliper brackets black and the calipers red, they came out real good. Will be installing them tomorrow, ill try to take some pictures
