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.

They look so nice but cost so much. Buy nitrous instead...

What is the consensus about the brake lines when upgrading to C5 brakes? Can you re-use the LT1 rubber lines or are LS1 lines necessary? Thanks
