LS1 Brake Conversion Questions???
I am bidding on a LS1 front brake setup on Ebay right now. I am just wondering what I will need to do to install it. I mean, are there bushings on the spindle I will have to replace?
Also, I would like to powdercoat the spindle first, and at least paint the calipers.
What parts of the setup[ can be powdercoated/painted? I know you can't just throw the calipers in the oven since they have rubber seals and what not, but I don't know about the spindles. Can I take the wheel bearing out and have them done, or are wheel bearings a one time deal?
Any other tips?
Thanks

You will need knuckles, calipers, rotors and pads at a minimum. Your LT1 hubs can be reused.
You can separate the spindle and hub and paint the spindle. You can also paint your caliper.
This is what I did a while ago on a set of LS1 brakes I had and never installed because I sold the car.

You will notice I didn't paint the calipers completely.
Too lazy.
I now have another one and I didn't bother to go through it. Just installed them the way they were.
