Default Brake Question

Hello everyone i plan on getting 15" wheels for street/strip and i wanted to upgrade my brakes (Rotors, calipers, lines...everything the works) but all the kits i look at have a minimum wheel size of 17"...who sells a good kit for smaller wheels that doesnt cost a furtune.

Thanks

The stock brakes on a LS1 fbody already come very close to 16" rims, so I don't see how you could upgrade them and have them still fit a 16" rim. In fact, for some 16" rims you have to grind the fins off the calipers to get them to fit. LS1 brakes are already bigger than LT1 brakes were; I suggest just getting better pads if you need an upgrade.
