Default Anyone know of a shop that does Ls1 brake conversion?

I may be looking to upgrade the front brakes on my car to an Ls1 brake set up with bigger rotors/calipers on my 95 TA in or near Jacksonville Fl?

Thx,
Claude

Also interested in this for my 95. I've got all brake components, both front and rear. Just need some rotors and pads to finish it off. I could probably do it myself, but wouldn't mind having some help.

Check your mail, I sent pics this morning. Nothing is busted. Bolt it on and throw on some new pads if you feel like it.

This could be the UNDERstatement of the month!

I drove down today and Chris gave me a great deal on the parts and also a great deal on installing them on my car too. Everything works great. He is probably the coolest dude I have met since in Jacksonville. His project cars and know how are completely insane. Awesome Guy, did a great job on my car too and has a couple of freggin AWESOME rides!

Here's a pic of my newest mod..Thanks to Whister!
