I am taking the C5 corvette brakes off of my 2002 Camaro to put drag brakes. They will fit your car, and if you are interested I will have them off soon and sell them to you. They are slotted rotors, red calipers that say Corvette in white with hawk pads. You can find this conversion kit on WS6 store website. I'll save you some money for sure.

What "works best for you" depends on what you are looking for. Do you road race? Drag race? Just street drive?
Do you want a big brake kit? Stick with stock setup?
