  • Looking for LS1 brake setup

    Any of you guys have a line on a set of Front and Rear LS1 brake setups?

    Would be cool to convert the GTA over to something that is actually capable of stopping the car.

    Just do c5 stuff up front. Give me a ring at the shope and I will see about working up a qoute on the parts.

      I think last time we had Matt Z try some C5 stuff in a GTA rim and it was a no go.

        yeah i was gonna say that, no go on the crosslaces and C5 brakes, but i don't think regular LS1 brakes will be any different?.....Tomarrow when i'm up at CARS, i'll take a crosslace wheel off of this one custo's car that's up there and see if it fits on the front of my car, then i'll let ya know

          If it does you should roll around on gold crosslaces, that'd be tight yo

            Cross laces won't fit on ls1 or c5 front brakes. If you want brakes those wheels have gotta go. Bear makes a kit I could change the bracket around for a 12in instead of a 12.8 and it might fit with either a c5 or LS1 caliper.I don;t think outside of a 11.8 rotor your not going to get much. I think the ls1 rotors are 12.5 up front and the rears are the same as the vet but those should clear a 16inch wheel ok.

                From the reading that I've done it looks like it'd be LS1 brakes with wheel spacers or C4 12" non HD brakes.

                      Why don't you guys pony up the cash then.

                      For the price of new wheels I can buy a new engine.

                      **** that.

                        Yeah those would be the 12.0 or 11.8 depending on how you measure it. My advice would be to get some different wheels if you want more brakes and step upto some really good brakes.

                          I dont want really awesome brakes, I just want brakes.

                          These 10.5" jobs dont cut it.

                              I would sitck with the crosslaces. They are awesome and look very good. Why not look into some cross-drilled / slotted rotors and some decent pads. That'll help.
