Doing LS1 Brakes, anything else i need to do?
My car is in need of an alignment so what better time to do a set of LS1 brakes. I bought a complete set lines, spindles, rotors and calipers. I'm planning on putting them on next weekend is there anything else i should do while i have everyhing apart. Thanks.

While you are going through the trouble, you might as well throw in a set of good pads. I used the Hawk HPS pads, and they really grip well. Best $ spent on my 97' so far. I have a lot of pics in my Sig below.

I've decided to go with Earl's lines too. I'll be doing mine this weekend I think. Should be fun.....I hope
According to my Haynes manual, it looks like bleeding the brakes is going to take the longest. They have like a million steps defined in there.

It doesn't seem like it should take long at all. Just remove the rim, unhook the brake line, ABS wiring and the undo the 3 ball joints. Then slap the new one back in. Seems rather quick and easy.
