ls1 brake swap and alignment
#4
Most of the time after the LS1 brake swap your not really that far off from the original alighnment. (tie rods and a-arms effect the alighnment most) I would take a drive and if no major problems were seen/felt, I'd drive it straight there. Or you could go the protective father route and have it towed, lol.

its easy enough for you to do on your own. the difference between you doing it and them will be shop time, and I bet a couple hours of it at least.

yeah but depends on how much that costs. Atleast I would have them do teh rear lines and pads and everything cause they already are and maybe put in better fluid, then just replace the front lines and brakes at a later date when I have front lower control arms to swap in as well, only prob with that is I dont know if taking the lines off the front will require bleeding the rear brakes again too or just fronts, may require a little more fluid but thats no biggie. I just dont like the idea of paying for an alignment twice if the shop time isnt going to be that much but I really dont know..... what do you think, should I wait and redo all the stuff when I swap the brakes on right after I get it back?
