LS1 brakes are fine, the rotors are the issue. BREMBO blanks + hawk pads and you should not have any warpage issues. Make sure to break the rotors/pads in properly!

No reason to spend 800 on a C5 brake upgrade, the only benefit is the directional rotors (better cooling for circle track use) and slightly larger rotor.

I only went C5 because LT1 brakes suck donkey ballz.
