The Ls1 brakes have an improved e-brake design. The LT1 and PBR brakes are supposedly the same thing. In most cases, LT1/PBR rear brakes are enough.

I should have stated that most likely all these brake setups will be used and about the same prices. So price is not really a factor. The car is mostly for street duty but I want the most braking power I can get without modifying a crap load of stuff. Basically I want to know which setup will be the best of all worlds. Weight, clamping force, most reliable, etc....
