Also same question but comparing base c5 front brakes to standard ls1 f-body front brakes (which I recently invested in, but haven't installed as of yet.) I know I could probably search this, but I figured it was somewhat relevant to this topic... Thanks

Nah it is cool. IF it helps people find out about upgrading their brakes then the input and questions are appreciated. I had lt brakes on my 94 then upgraded to the ls brakes I noticed a difference. Now with the inch bigger directional rotors I am sure I will notice a difference again. I just saw the ones on pt.net for sale and was trying to figure out if they would fit with my wheels. Because I would like to run the biggest brakes possible. The 15.5's from the new vette would be awesome but I am sure an easy 4000 for the fronts is probably the amount I would need and 20 inch wheels for sure.
