Default Brakes!!!

Okay i am really tired of these brakes and wondering if i am going to stop or not.

So i need to upgrade,now my question is what are my options cause im on the stock 16 inch rims.

Some people said i can upgrade to the ls1 brakes and they will fit under my stock rims.
If so then what all do i need, and where can i get it from?
will i need new rotors?

I already tried putting better rotors on with better pads but it only improved a little, still not that good. So i figure i need better calipers. but i am on a budget.

Thanks in advance.

yes LS1 will fit under stock rims. spindle, rotor, caliper, pads, either bend the hardline bracket or buy longer brake lines to the caliper. Done!
