LS1 to LT1 brake conversion

**stephen02ws6** · 10-09-2008, 11:46 AM

i got a set of 15x10 wheels and want to get them to fit. I ground down the driver side but i ground through the bracket to the slide pin and ground a small hole in the caliper itself. I was wondering about swaping the brakes to LT1. I was told that would help make the wheels fit. What all do you have to change to swap out to the LT1 brakes?

holy crap dude, i would not go to lt1 style brakes, 1: i dunno if it'll make the wheels fit or not 2: ls1 brakes are better imho and 3: why do you want to run 15's?????

could be his slick's rim. i really have no idea if there is a difference between lt1 and ls1 breaks.

ya they are my drag wheels. i heard that the LT1 brakes are smaller in the rear and will allow the wheels to fit.

i dunno, lt1 brakes use a different parking brake assembly that is not in the hub of the rotor but is actually built into the caliper if i am not mistaken. just get different wheels bro, some that will fit correctly
