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.Last edited by 96LT1355Z28; 02-03-2012 at 03:52 PM.

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?

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.If you don't stand behind our MIlitary then feel free to stand in front of them. <---- This is my oldest son (PROUD DAD HERE) Mike (just plain mad) Madman337 1993 Camaro Z/28 A4 all stock other than a muffler and LCAs @292K+ miles. 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche. 1970 Pontiac Firebird. 1972 Camaro, 1994 Corvette, 17 Fusion Sport AWD V6 Twin Turbo
