    Would the V6 cars have the same front brakes as the V8's? I was at a local junkyard and saw an 01 V6 with the full front brake setup still on it.

    EDIT: Just looked parts up on a parts store site and it looks like calipers and pads for a V6 and V8 are the same part number.

    You answered your own question but yes they are the same. See how much they want and sell it for some extra cash if you don't need them. I did it on my 3rd gen and it made a huge difference.

    I'm trying to figure out if I should switch to LS brakes or just bite the bullet and go with aftermarket. I've heard about doing something with aftermarket third generation brakes. I don't know what the conversion involves but I think it's cheaper or they're lighter, I need to do some more homework.

    Nice write up. What is the "knuckle" that could be bent? Is it the black arm behind the disk that goes from the top to the bottom?

    Yes, if the car was hit in the front end they can bend and it would be hard to tell by looking at it without getting it aligned.

    What year does the ls1 brake set up start?
    I have a 97 TA now as a donor for my 93 Z28 and want to know if it is the ls1 setup as some of the car is the ls1 style.
