    A question for those who have done the LS1 brake conversion

    I just got the front brkes on and I have noticed the pedal is much different than the old brakes. It feels mushier that the Lt1 brakes but they defenitely grab better and harder. Im pretty sure the brakes are bled all the way But I just want to know if you guys niticed the same thing.
    If you panic atop it is easy to tell they are working better cause the tires will howl unlike before.

        Definitly rebleed them. Soft pedal is almost always a result of air in the lines. When I retrofited the LS1 brakes onto my 3rd gen, I had the same problem.

          Did you bleed the antilock unit?
