Pictures of my LS1 brake upgrade
Here are the pictures I took during/after my install.
Here's what went on the car:
LS1 knuckles
LS1 Calipers painted red with CAMARO decals from Brent
Powerslot Rotors
Hawk Pads
Earls Lines (front and back)
Also pictured are the trans am panels I put on the same weekend

The brakes not only perform great but they look sharp, very happy with the results

Re: Pictures of my LS1 brake upgrade
which earls brake line kit did you use. I'm doing the front only on my 96. I called summit thay said the earls brake line kit for a 2000 camaro comes with 4 brake lines. I need 5, my car has 2 rubber lines in the front and 3 rubber lines in the rear.

Did you have to relocate the hard brake line mounting bracket? Or did the new Earl's brake line kit have longer hoses than stock LS1's?

Re: Pictures of my LS1 brake upgrade
I didn't find any problem with the earl's LS1 lines, they seemed to fit fine. I however never compared the length of the stock LS1 lines and the earl's side-by-side

Re: Pictures of my LS1 brake upgrade
The brake lines that came with the set up had a hard metal line that came out of the banjo bolt where it meets the caliper and then turns into a rubber hose. It has about 2" of metal line from the caliper. I'm wondering if this is a brake line out of a car with traction control or are all the LS1 stock flex lines like that?

Re: Pictures of my LS1 brake upgrade
Hmmm... just called a Chevy dealer and the brake lines are the same P/N for 98-02 cars w/ traction control and w/o traction control. So I now believe the brake lines that I have are used on stock LS1 f-bodys. Not that is does me any good, cuz I still have to custom fabricate my mounting bracket.
What a pain in the a**!!
