1LE vs LS1 Brakes
The 1LE option has long been thought to be the most desireable performance braking option that came from the manufacturer. What many people do not realize is that 1LE Calipers only contain dual 1.5" pistons, while the LS1 Big Brake caliper has dual 1.75" pistons. 1LE replacement calipers are VERY hard to find while replacement LS1 calipers are available at most auto parts stores.

  Our Kit
Each Kit contains the parts needed to convert your existing 3rd gen brakes to 4th gen brakes. Each kit comes pre assembled and ready to install.

Front struts weak or leaking? During the install of your big brake kit, you may want to replace or upgrade your struts.

Don't forget to schedule your front end alignment after installation to get the most of your new suspension upgrades.

     

Visual Brake Differences
The below graphic shows the difference between the stock braking system and our LS1 Big Brake option. Notice the size of the rotors and calipers.

  Wheel Fitment 
The LS1 brake kit will fit all stock style f-body 16" wheels, except for the TransAm/Firebird crosslace wheel. To use this wheel, minor clearancing or the use of a wheel spacer will be necessary.
