Brake upgrade?

Brake upgrade?
I am thinking about upgrading my brakes on my 1996 z28. I have stock brakes now and it will not stop good. I am thinking of doing some c5 or ls1 z28 brakes up front. Will there be a huge difference between the two? And what kind of difference will I get over my stock system? Is it really worth the cash to only upgrade the front brakes or do I need to change the rear brakes also?
Thanks

I think I am just going to go with the ls1 brake upgrade for the front. I am going to go junkyard hunting; hope I can find a 1998 or newer f-body with front brakes intact. What should I expect to pay for the spindles, calipers, mounting hardware, and brake lines at the junkyard?

im not sure what you would pay but i would get front and rear brakes. you might as well if your gonna take the fronts. your front brakes definitely do most of the stopping, but you might as well do it right if your gonna do it.

Ya to do the rears I will need to swap the axels. Also, I hear that the ls1 rears will lockup and induce wheel hop. I am going to just do the fronts because it will be less of a pain. I can get the swap on ebay for 250 shipped, but I think the junkyard will be less.
