LT1-LS1 Brake upgrade question

Re: LT1-LS1 Brake upgrade question
I haven't had mine aligned and havn't noticed any problems. My tires are old. If they were newer I would get it aligned.
Either way unless the uprights are bent it shouldn't be off much.

Re: LT1-LS1 Brake upgrade question
Since you changle the knuckles/spindles with the LS1 conversion, you WILL want to get an alignment. If it happens to line up good, you got lucky. I would take it in as soon as you can, or your tires may pay the price, or it won't handle all that well.

I am in the process now taking them off my brothers LS1 car in the front and it has them on the rear side towards teh back of the car!
Why must you extend the brakeline? i think he had to extend it because he placed the calipar on the wrong side of the rotor!
any ideas?

As for the length issue, it seems to vary from car to car. The only thing to do is just check after you install the brakes and turn the wheel from lock to lock while someone makes sure that nothing is getting ripped apart. The last thing you want is a brake line being ripped while driving and your pedal going to the floor when you try to stop.
Some people bend their brake lines brackest and get away wiht it. I just got one of those thin strips of metal with holes punched every inch or so, then cut and bent it to make a custom bracket.
