C4 brakes on an LS1?

What would be required for me to switch to a 13' C4 Vette brake caliper to my Camaro???

Actually C4 brakes are 12". ZR1s got the 13". I dount it would be easy. I would just find a brembo or wilwood kit that was made for the car. Though If you want a good brake upgrade thats cheap. A good pad and stainless braided hoses do make a great difference.

No, I actually want to put these on now that I have the rims, they're the 13" Grand Sport brakes

I would think you would need the correct lines as well as calipers and rotors. Those mount way different than fbody brakes.

Those are the brakes on my C4. All front brakes on '95 and '96 C4 are 13". Only the Grand Sports and Collectors editions got those calipers in '96 because they look better with the ZR1 style wheels, but they all use the same pads. For the Z28 I'm going with the Baer GT+ kit. The calipers are the same PBR's as the C5 with 13.15" 2 piece rotors. The kit uses a caliper braket adapter that will require a little customizing to be done to the spindles.
