My '00 S-10 needed new rotors and calipers, so I decided to put "LS-1" brakes( '98-up F-body) on it. Pretty simple in fact. Made an adapter bracket to mount the calipers after cutting the ears off the stock knuckles, retapped the dust shield holes to 7/16" and turned down the stock rotors to make hubs to slip the LS-1 rotors over using 12 mm longer studs. Being an auto technician, the calipers and rotors were very cheap through work, as was getting to use a brake lathe to make the hubs. Stock hoses bolted right up and while the dual piston calipers cause a little more initial brake travel, the stopping ability is phenomal compared to stock, and I haven't even broken in the pads enough to really stand on them. ABS is fine.
