Spirited driving after you drive your cars on a spirited drive (you know, give it a little gas and brake for 15 minutes or so) do they tend to get a certain smell to them? (i wasnt riding the clutch) I've noticed that a lot since i got my fbody.
yeah i get that alot but i drive the hell out of mine an its because the lt1 cars have tiny brakes compared to ls1 cars mine shoot sparks and eventualy crack the rotors after about a summer worth of raceing 
your Formula is a big boy and its got little kid brakes.
you need to Fred Flinston it some more and smash a whole in the floor board so you can use your heels for that extra braking effort.

if you really wanna do the c5 upgrade, go with a kit from kore3, they have the cheapest prices around for the whole kit, even comes with brake lines and the others dont, I believe the price starts at 613 or so, but you need to make sure it will work with your wheels though. To do the ls1 upgrade you need the spindles and all, pretty easy to find at a junkyard and can be done for a little over 200 bucks, or less, depending on how much the parts are.

i'll have to look into that.
i also upgraded to stainless steel brake lines. i 'think' it was $100 or so for all 5 front and rear. well worth it tho. you can buy full sets from everywhere. bmr has the full set for 850http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyBrakes.htm
cant go wrong
youd need spindles, calipers, rotors, pads. i think hoses too im not 100% sure
