LS1 or C5 brake upgrade for the LT1...which parts?
I have 17" TT2 wheels on my 95 Z, so I want to be sure which one of these upgrades I can do. Can I do the C5 brake upgrade, or should I just stick w/ the LS1 brake upgrade?
How much am I looking at spending? Also, do I need to change the rear brakes as well? I would assume that I would, I think it would look better.
Can anyone give me a list of parts or instructions I would need to do one of these upgrades? It looks more time consuming than difficult.
Hope to get some replies
Thanks!

A c5 conversion will yield you better calipers, bigger and directionally vented rotors, and more pimp factor . www.kore3.com offers an entire kit for a really good price. Call and talk to Tobin, he's a great guy. Do a search on c5 brakes and you will come up with a couple of threads. You will get a lot of information from them.

Hey...........LS1 brakes will look good and stop great and seem to be really good with SS lines, nice pads, and fluid. Although I know you so you will probably want the C5 brakes for that EXTRA BLING!
If you do, I don't know if you remember the red LT1 from last year, but he had C5 brakes and 17'' TTII's on it. This year they were on his blue LT1 with factory SS wheels. They fit both fine!
