im looking to upgrade my front brakes, but on a budget. anyone know which calipers are best without changing my factory spindles?

ive never heard of any that will bolt on without modification but i did find this http://lukeskaff.com/?page_id=329 would be pretty cheap if you can do the work yourself

i know i can upgrade the rotors to drilled and slotted. if theres a better caliper thats a stock replacement, i rather buy that also

the link i posted was for converting to LS1, and corvette brakes not just drilled/slotted

ssbc makes a quick change caliper kit for the front brakes. Its a light weight 2 piston caliper. I think its around 450 bucks

I'd do a search on those replacements before I dove in. For example, check the following post:

i tried doing a quick search for the parts needed for the c4 and other conversions. anyone know how much it roughly costs to do it?

The company below makes many kits (though I'm not sure that the budget minded will be impressed):

Quick search found this.. a bolt in for your stock spindle.. wont improve your rotor size but will shed some weight..

i got drilled slotted rotors and calipers off a 02 camaro that had 77k on it today for right at 50 bucks from the junkyard, like new rotors too.

if you can do some of the work yourself, you can save a lot of money on the SS swap. I paid about $60/ea for my rebuilt calipers, $75 for brackets, and about $90 to have the hubs turned (some have paid as little as $50, so search your local machine shops). I did my own cutting on the spindles, along with my own drilling and tapping for the new hardware. In total, I think I've got about $500 tops from start to finish into my front brake swap.
