I need better brakes!

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase an ls1 or c4 upgrade for my 85 ta. Stock brakes suck!!! Thanks

Brake upgrade

I got a total caliper package from big brake upgrade - it's the LS1 calipers modified for a 3rd gen - I have been VERY impressed with what they do for this car - the harder you push down, the better it stops. The pedal feel is good (i have an 87 with 4 wheel disc) and because it comes all assembled, it's not a hard install, just don't drop it on your toe! (the delivery guy gave me a dirty look, the assemblies are 50lbs apiece!)
