Need options on brakes My brake rotors are pretty bad so i need new ones and i need to know what would be a nice upgrage over stock because the stock brakes sucked anyways.
Also what pads would be best?

the best and cheapest is probably an LS1 conversion.

you can find abunch on Ebay sometimes or if you can find a local parts car it would be great. im sure high performance rotors and pads would be more then enough. but i feel if i can spend laittle more money and get a better product i will. thats why i have C5 brakes and i must say. there Phenomenal!

A Stainless Steel Brakes four corner rotor/pad kit would be a decent all around upgrade for $320.00 at Summit:

The next step up in performance and cost is a conversion to LS1 fronts.
If you're gonna do any front brake upgrade, you might as well step right up to the C5 kit:

Thanks for the sugestions.
I wanted to do the C5 upgrade but everyone tells me that you need at least 17inch rims. is that true? cause im still on stock rims.
Also some people are telling me to do Brembo blank rotors and HP pads.
would that be a good upgrade or would i need to upgrade the caliper also?
Thanks

I did the LS1 upgrade and happen to have an extra set of calipers if you want them.
I personally felt a nice difference over the stock LTx style. And for the cheap price I can def wait on C5's for now until I find a set of calipers myself.
