i upgraded to the ls1 front brakes.. a lot more stopping power.. you can find good deals on this site from 150-250 for the entire kit: spindles, lines, rotors, and calipers

go to the classifieds and PM people that are parting out ls1 cars and ask them how much for the entire front brake set and make sure you get the lines and spindles as well

I got my LS1 front brakes from Trans AM Creations, they are a F-body salvage yard .I think it cost around $200.00 for everything.

I paid $150 for all I needed..
LT1 vs. LS1 F-body.

You don't need the Lines..just the ones on the Calipers. Where the LT1 Calipers connect to on the Lines on the K-Member un-bolts and you can connect them there.
The Spindle is the main piece, it should come with it.
You thinkin of the Hubs?

With the LSX Spindles you can by the Kits to go to the Corvette 13" Brakes too..

If you want to get real crazy..you can delete the ABS Proportioning Valve and replace it with one from a '89 and up F-Body. It stops even quicker then..and opens all kinds of room.

If you want it new your going to have to get the spindles and lines from a GM dealership and the rotors and calipers from an autoparts store. No aftermarket performance vendor sells factory replacement parts to my knowledge.
