I've used 98+ F-car brakes, C5 conversion, Porsche Brembos ...

Wilwood, StopTech make very nice brake packages. My Brembos stood my car on it's nose!

But that performance came at a price.

Replacement consumables were difficult to find and expensive.

So, do your homework before you find yourself in a hole you can't get out of.

Thanks, but that's debatable by many.

Nah that NEVER happens!

I went with the C5 conversion one, due to cost, but majorly due to the simplicity of buying replacement parts over the counter.

First thing a newbie wants to do to his LS1 is a cam.

Most excellent thread hi-jack.

A vendor and 2 mods ... I think It's close to a new world record
