Default 97 ls400 rear brakes

I own a 90ls and have a 97 at the junkyard close to my house. I already took the front brakes, Is it worth it to take the rears too? Or will they even bolt up without mods? Is there anything else interchangeable that I should grab?

they'll bolt up because there's not really a noticeable difference between them

note: if you're doing the front 2LS brake conversion, make sure you bought 2LS lower ball joints (all this is for the front) and have wheels that will clear the brakes, as the stock 1LS wheels will not.

Thanks, I already got the lbj's, now searching for some wheels. So not really worth it to swap the rears GTK. Anything else worth grabbing?

personally, i wish i would have gone ahead and upgraded the rear to 93-00 when i did my brakes. it's not a huge difference but the rear rotor is 15mm larger and the caliper piston is .1" larger. in fact when i redo mine (color change, just gonna buy a complete set and sell my current brakes) i will get the larger rears.
