93-97 vs 98+ Brake setup

[LETZRIDE]

Just a few things I am looking for clarification on:

I know the calipers/brake pads are different between the years, but what about the rotors? Would the rotors I have from my 96 fit on my ls1?

I think I had read the rotors could be 12'', but what is the size of the 93-97 rotors?

2nd thing for clarification, I know the spindles are different, but I believe the main difference is the flap on the spindle. So, is the front bearing hub the same from 93-02?

I had just bought brand new Timken bearings for the front of the car, and if I can swap them over to the new car, I would rather do that.

Rotors are different. LT/93-97 rotors are smaller than LS/98-02 rotors.

Not sure on the bearings swap over. I just bought a set of LS spindles/calipers/rotors and bolted them on my LT car.

Yes - bearings are the same. Swapped them when I installed my 98+ spindles on my 96.

Yup bearings are the same.

Lt1 rotors are only 10.5" and won't work.
