You need to use the stock g-body spindles and mod them. Here is a decent thread on it:

Use the author of that thread in the search of this forum for more info. IIRC, he also did a thread on installing the rear LS1 brakes.

the only parts you will be using are the rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets..
you make your stock rotors into a hub which the F body rotor slips over. you chop the stock caliper mounting ears off your stock spindles and tap the dustshield mounting holes bigger, then you make or buy some brackets that mount the F body calipers to your spindle.
