Brakes
What would be a good brake system i just changed my pads to the hawks and it stops 100000 times better so i recomend them to everybody but when i change to c5 y2k wheels i want a brake system that looks better what would be a good choice the rotors have to be small enough to fit in a 15 inch wheel but i want very good braking so maybe a 4 piston caliper or maybe even 6. And i want drilled even if they dont help i dont want to start a debate but i want them fr looks. So can anyone recomend me a brake system.

when i did brakes at the tire shop i used to work out, one of the hot set up's we used to do was a relativly inexpensive one for those customers who wanted better performance and looks.
use the calipers off the same year (or close) vette's, you wouldnt know it but their actually stronger and dont fade as much under extreme heat, take the calipers have them sanded and you can paint them yourself with spray paint and 2-3 layers of clear coat. while your at it, upgrade to a larger brake rotor, thats drilled billet(drilled rotors disperse heat MUCH quicker than stockers, and even a 10mm larger rotor will help) you'll notice an improvment immediatly and it'll look great behind those new vette wheels.
