      1st gen front disc conversion mounting kit

      what do you guys think? i picked up a set of used calipers like the ones in the pictures for $70 and was wondering if this is what i need , plus rotors to install them on my car. the kit gives you pretty much everything you need, am i right? my car is currently drum all around. thanks -Dom

      other than hoses, banjo bolts, copper washers and master cylinder it looks like it.

      I'd go full LS1 Camaro rear brake set up. Easy to install. Do a search cause there is a bunch of info on doing this.

      Yes, those look like the 98-02 front calipers also known as LS1 fronts. PM sent.

      any machine shop can do it. I did a bunch on our brake lathe but pissed off everyone within a 300ft ear shot LOL

      I bought the same kit and it came out great, easy to install and fitment and instructions were good.

      Dom, don't know if you came across this yet, but like it says in his listing that kit only works with spindles that have the 5/8's anchor bolt hole. Mine had the 1/2 inch hole. If yours also has the 1/2 inch hole the machine shop can drill and retap to 5/8s for you to fit the new bolt, Thats what I had to do.

      Rene--mine fit great, i actually had the 5/8`s anchor bolt, but i did have to machine my hubs down a bit which wasn't so bad. i was very pleased too.

      Ramairgod--- this kit is perfect for a ls1 upgrade! it bolted up in minutes, i kid you not!!! the longest time spent was getting the old bolts off from being on there for all those yrs lol
      heres a pic that i snapped as i finished, its a cell phone pic so sorry if its not to great.

      note*** i couldnt rotate the pic but the caliper sits towards the rear of the car- thanks Dom

      Hey Dom, I ended up getting new stainless braided lines from kore3 too, the stock hoses that came with my calipers didn't fit too good. The pieces from kore3 are awesome. Just figured I'd let you know in case you were looking for some.
