For those of us who have done it:
Front: Rotors, Calipers, Flex Hoses, Dust Shields, Pads Rear: Rotors, Calipers, Pads On the rear, the flex hoses and dust shields are the same as the SS 1LE. |

This
I was able to temporarily use my original front SS flex lines with my 1LE takeoff's by removing the bolt that attaches the hose to the strut. Got the correct hoses from GMPartsdirect for around 12 bucks each.

OP, did you pick up the ZL1 calipers & rotors that were advertised for $650 in the members classifieds? If so, I'm jealous. I had just picked up some 1LE takeoff's for $1500 and thought I did pretty well until I saw those!
