Brake uprades

are there any brake upgrades that will fit under the stock 15" Z-28/RS wheels? if not are there aftermarket rims that are larger but have the same look?

The C4 brake upgrade (12") would be a good choice to fit under those wheels. Otherwise, you're going to have to large at larger wheels.

Ed Miller makes a C4 kit that you can purchase directly from him. It has everything you need for the upgrade. I am going to do that once I get some extra money to play with for brakes.

Honestly, I would stay away from any aftermarket kits offered by Baer and others... more often than not, they are GM parts that are rebadged with the company's logo on them, but with a price tag that's double of the regular GM parts.

A 12" 1LE system should fit as well. Both the C4 and 1LEs can be had in bolt on kits. PM me if you need more info on them.

As far as larger stock looking wheels, check the appearance forum. Some guys over there have stock looking wheels in 18" IIRC.
