What is needed for LS1 to LT1 rear brake swap?
I have an LS1 rear now - gives me fits trying to get rims - so i'm going to "downgrade" to LT1 brakes.
Do I just need to buy new calipers and rotors or must the axles be swapped (backing plate) as well?

Sorry should have stated - looking for 15" rims. Easier to find rims that fit on LT1 brakes. Telstars for example (or any of the Terminator series).

Does anyone know what is required for this? Rear brake swap from LS1 to LT1
Things i'm sure need swapped:
calipers
rotors
moutning bracket
hoses
Unsure of the axle flange - does this need swapped as well?

Mine are still avaible if your interested. I would think I have everything you'd need and likewise for me.
Hawk Pads (little or no wear)
Napa Rotors
Calipers
Backing Plates
E-brake cables if you need them
Hoses
I wont be going to a 15" anytime soon and I wouldnt mind having the LS1 setup. If you wanted to swap we could do the stall [if its forsale] and the brakes all on one shot. Let me know.

Dustin - my passenger side caliper and mounting bracket have already been ground while trying to fit the Telstars so they will need replaced. That's why i'm trying to buy some outright - however my drivers side is untouched and both rotors are still in great shape. May sell those.
Haven't heard anything back yet on the vert.
