  • Ls1 Brake upgrade question

    So I went Ebaying and purchased this:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT
    Looking into it, its missing the 5 bolts that should be comming out of the spindle, or knuckle. Not knowing what to do about this I come to the forum. Do I buy a set, and if so, from where? Or do I reuse the ones off my current setup.

    I would imagine that your car knuckle will work with the new spindle. Though keep in mind that if you drive your car hard (ex. autocross, raodrace, hard braking, etc.) depending on the condition of those rotors, they may be more prone to warping. This depends on the rotor thickness after turning them. Also you may want to opt for stainless braided lines instead of the rubber stock ones for better pedal response.

        Okay so I didn't get a new knuckle I got a spindle, and the knuckle and spindle are 2 different pieces? Okay I believe that makes some sense to me now. I don't carry a hard driving style but I couldn't deal with the stock "lack of brake response" that I would feel even with new pads. I hope this won't disapoint me.

          I upgraded to the LS1 brakes, but I don't know what you are refering to. The only thing missing are the hubs, but you can use your originals, which bolt to the spindle.
