Not too many people do the LT1 calipers. Most do the 1LE swap if you can get them cheap enough (which is a task) or LS1 brakes ...

Not worth it IMO. I have the C4 HD brake upgrade, and it was a big difference in stopping, especially when I added the PBR equiped rear.
Sell the LT1 brakes to a guy with an LS1 car that wants to put on smaller wheels or something...

I agree....forget the LT1 brakes. If you want to try your hand at it yourself here's the link to the tech article I wrote for GMHTP on swapping in C5 Vette brakes.
