Read the thread that is stickied to the very top of the Brake and Suspension page. You can't miss it.

But to make it easy for you, in summary, use the parts for a 97 LS, you can't go wrong. There is a small interference where the caliper bolts to the bracket, grind a little out of the bracket where the interference is and they fit. Use 2 washers on the bolts because the SC bolts are a little too long and will hit the rotor. Or, cut the bolts slightly to shorten them. That's about it.
