Brake caliper upgrade for stock size rotors?

I have a Procharged 01 SS Camaro

i have new stock size sloted rotors, running stock calipers with Hawk brake pads, car stops good, but i realy could use some better breaking with 600 RWHP.

I Have 17" Fikse Mag wheels all around.

I think there was a Brand of Caliper that was like 3 piston front and 2 piston rear, that fit stock size rotors and wheels.

any one know the co, or have any ideas.
Thank you for your help

SSBC I believe makes the caliper you are talking about. They are supposed to fit 17 inch wheels and so is the Wilwood kit. The proble is with the offset and rivets of the Fikse you don't have alot of room. The C5 kit isn't supposed to fit.

I would buy the SSBC and try them but they are not very popular on here and I could see having a very hard time selling them if they didn't fit.

If you try them let me know

Wilwood breaks are suspose to be very good,
SSBC is unpopular but i am sure they are better than stock.
