LS1 Rear Brakes

[Christian Dionne]

I just picked up 2 complete LS1 rearends and an LT1 rear, all for $150.
I hope to have one rear brake set bolted onto Brian Fulop's Typhoon by the weekend and post some pics for everyone. My syclone is getting the other set maybe next week, I hope to get it under 3k pounds soon.

The guy I got them from says he's getting into wrecked Fbodys and could supply us with front and rear brake stuff for cheap. I'm getting some front brakes from him soon, right after I order some kits from TT350.

Just thought I would share my little moment of happiness today

Re: LS1 Rear Brakes

Hey, do you happen to have the e-brake kits on them?

I have NO e-brake at all in my 00 z28. I need them, Tell me how much if you wanna sale them (if you have them).

Hey christian, sounds like a cool project, I wouldnt mind getting my hands on them on both trucks. From what I hear the ty will be a bit easier....

I still need a set of hardware for the front brackets I got, If there are any floating around let me know.

Ian, let me know what you need exactly. This guy is getting started in the business, and seems eager to help me get what we need.

I've got Jeremy's '92 Typhoon rear brakes on my Syclone after removing the Wilwoods....so I know there's just a little drilling required to make the mount bolt to my rearend. If it seems to be too much trouble, I can use his old rear in my Syclone....my Typhoon will probably receive an 8.5" anyhow.

Re: LS1 Rear Brakes

know if theres any diff besides the ends between the sy and ty axles?

I need one of two things, a set of calipers I can trade in for remans (under 25 ea) or a good set of calipers. If he can get ahold of a nice set and I could avoid having to get some reman units, that would be great. I dont need the caliper brackets, but if they come along, no problem. Im gonna pick up a new set of rotors, so dont need those.

Re: LS1 Rear Brakes

I just got done taking the 2 LS1 rears to my shop and throwing away the sway bars, control arms, torque arms and shocks. I might work this weekend, if not I'll be doing the brakes.

I'm going to be looking at the weight difference between the LT1 and LS1 rotors. The LT1 rears don't have a drum inside, the caliper does the E-brake..
maybe it's a little less rotating weight. I don't really need the extra diameter of the LS1 rotor as my truck will soon weigh less than 3k pounds.

Does anyone know if the LS1 brakes will bolt onto the 98' up 8.5 4x4 rear, or do they already have discs?
