Default Brembo Rotors for Corvette on a TransAm
If I were to get the LG Kit that fit larger rotors could I get Brembo cross drilled rotors that are for Corvettes?

And for some reason Brembo cross drilled rotors for Firebird/TransAm cost more here?

If you get the LG kit, you could use a C5 (Corvette) rotor. That's correct.

The LG kit will alow the larger rotor. When it comes to them being cheap then fbody ones I dont know. Normally vette rotors cost more.

Jargan: would you say that there was a noticable difference in stopping when upgrading to the corvette brakes?

Yes a big one. With just the brackets and corvette sized rotors there was a big different. I didnt even change pads, line, calipers, fluid. Just the backets and rotor. WOW is all I can say.
