Got my brakes in today and are looking good. They are LS1 twin piston calipers made to fit a g-body spindle. Best part about this setup is that it was very affordable compared to the name brand kits - plus I get to keep the stock geometry with the g-body spindle. Now I just have to track down some nice slotted 12" rotors and I'll be set.

I wonder if that caliper bracket and hub would work with B body spindles?

Looks like a slick kit, who makes it?

A guy off the TurboBuick site make the kit for me. I'll pass along his info when I hear back from him if you're interested.

What's the point? 1LE's are already 12" brakes. I wouldn't run a b-body spindle... not worth the trade off with the bumpsteer, weight and steering track IMO.

that set up is going to look real nice....is that going to limit you as to the wheel you can run, meaning will a 15" wheel still have clearance with the larger rotor and the caliper?

They look nice about how much was they.

$500 + shipping. Which is cheap compared to a 12" Baer g-body kit that runs $1200.

15" wheels wont clear the setup.... 16's might, but 17's will no problem.
