Nope.

Def not spindles. Calipers and rotors yea, booster and master no.

thanks! hahah if my rear sells i can pick the nova up, and its a roller set up for a big block:nod:

don't you have an LT1 car? Assuming stock brakes, those fronts are really not worth any effort to retrofit; maybe the rears. Booster can be modified to work but it is certainly no bolt in. the master might depending on what brakes and booster you end up using (bore sizing, etc., comes into play) and then you have line differences

^i agree...why not just go corvette c5 calipers/rotors..13" front stock and multi-piston

Lt1_8U 01-14-2012 09:13 AM

very true, if it was a simple job i would use my lt1 brakes just to upgrade to disk but because its not a direct fit ill upgrade to better brakes thanks again guys:mrgreen:
