1 Grand to Spend: What is best?

Hey gents,

I love my '91 Firebird but I'm dealing with the same brake system that came on the car back when it rolled off the line plus 175K miles. It doesn't track very straight on stopping and I'm simply getting worried about the car's ability to stop when it needs to.

I have GTA wheels.

What is the best brake upgrade I can get for my car in the thousand dollar price range? I know this has been a thoroughly discussed topic on this forum but is there a TGO example I can look at to emulate for my car?

Ed, this money is your for the taking... Just let me know what you recommend and we'll get on the phone.

Sincerely,
