Easiest brake upgrade is head out to your part store and pickup gp gxp brakes and rotors for all four corners. That's pretty much your cheapest bet.

I'm in the middle of Installing the gxp brakes on my buds 07 impala ss. We are using remanufactured gp gxp brakes from part source. Brakes aperently are from a 2005 gp gxp.

My front brakes (calipers, old rotors, and new Raybestos rotors) will be for sale soon.

I think you want parts from the 06 and up to fit your 07 Impala.
