calipers? Just picked up front and rear powerslot rotors w/ hawk pads. Now I want to put new calipers on there that are better than stock. What set would be a good choice? I know I'd need new brackets for the some calipers, and I'd like to have to change as little as possible to make them work, but I'll do what I have to do.
Thanks!
Thanks!

stock LS1 calipers are fine. theyll last forever if maintained, and stop your car just fine. the biggest differance will be the pads. the only caliper worth swapping to is a C5, but then youll be doing the entire C5 upgrade. FYI, the LS1 caliper actually has more clamping force then the C5. the reason people swap is for the bigger rotors and pads, and C5s have a wider variety of race compounds.
keep the stock calipers, youll be fine with them. if you want to fancy them up, powdercoat them.
