You can get a kit to use C5 rotors.
Also, pads make a bigger difference on braking performance than rotors. While you are at it, upgrade the brake fluid to a better fluid (ex: ATE Super Blue, which is a DOT4).
Don't forget tires. Once you lock up your brakes, its your tires that are limiting your braking ability. Get wider stickier tires.

Are you looking for good 12" or 13" rotors?
If LS1, then the Autozone Durastops for about $40ea are very good. Also the Brembo Blanks which cost a little more are also good. Racers use them all the time and they hold up well.
I cracked a set of drilled front rotors with my aggressive pads, so I switched to the Duralasts and they have held up fine for over a year with no warping.

Brembo's $64 each..... Tough as nails, very warp resistant. Can't find a better OEM replacement rotor.

I just purchased two Autozone Duralast Rotors @$39.99 each. They have a TWO YEAR 100% money back warranty against warping,pulsating,cracking etc, simply return (drive) to Autozone for full refund if unhappy.
Performance Friction Carbon Metallic front pads are $29.99 a set @Autozone.
