Brake kit options Im getting bigger brakes on my car real soon now that im getting my heads and cam on monday. My LT1 brakes are crap so im looking for an upgrade. Im not an auto x or rr guy so the brakes arent going to be getting beat up that hard. The cars a daily driver and I need some brakes that have real good stoping power. Should i get a willwood, ssbc, or baer type break kit or should i go for a c5 kit? How many pistons in the caliper should i go with? Any suggestions will be appreciated since they're so many options and different options out there and i dont want to rip myself off.

I'm in a similar situation. I've heard you can use LS1 brakes but I'm unsure of all the parts that are necessary. Spindles, lines, rotors, calipers, What do we needs? Is there anyone that makes a complete kit that includes everything?
