Default New Brakes Front and Rear

I need/want new rotors/pads for my front and was looking at the willwood kit on ws6 store. I have about 1200-1500 to play with on front and rear. I have a 2001 formula with stock rotors on now. Any suggestions for brake kits other then baer or willwood. Its mostly for looks right now later on ill upgrade for performance. I know i want drilled slotted rotors but other then that im clueless. Thanks for any suggestion/help.

Ouch that Wilwood kit is expensive. And only rated for 2800 lbs car? No thanks.

LS1 stock calipers are pretty good. If you want it to look good, I would polish or paint the stock calipers and pick up some pads/rotors suggested by threads like this:

Read Sam Strano's other posts or call him, he's really helpful.

How about going with a Corvette C5 upgrade? It gives you better looks and stopping power due to the bigger rotor?
