lt1 breakes question

getting both fornt and rear brakes setup for a 95 lt1 car ... i know the backs are a huge upgrade over the drums i have now but is it worth changing the fronts as well... right now i have the stock 91 rs fronts.... if it s not that much of a differance then i wont do it jsut keep the parts for spares... i just need to know

thanks

The fronts are responsible for, perhaps, 70 percent of braking power. The rears are less significant.

i am sure if there is a difference, and how much, dont know. i havent heard of anyone upgrading to lt1 front brakes before, maybe some could speak up about that. but most people usually go for ls1 or c5

Alot of the LT1 camaro people don't like the LT1 brakes. They prefer the upgrade to LS1s. Aren't LT1 brakes basically the same as the PBR thirdgens??
