So first, does anyone make a brake upgrade kit for front and rear axle (discs all the way around right now) that is totally bolt on. I really love the ls1 brake kit that Bigbrakeupgrade.com offers but i see nothing that addresses the rear brakes. Any thoughts? I really dont want to get into modifying spindles and junk.

What year is your car. Do you have the 11.7" rear discs or the 10.5"?

Go to www.flynbye.com there is a lot of options you can buy, from just buying the disc brake brackets to bolt up your own calipers, rotors, and pads or buy a whole setup. This is for the rears the fronts to my knowledge have to be modified to put bigger brakes on.

There are several places that will ship you a complete assembled spindle. No need to do the modification yourself.

If they are the original brakes, they should be the 11.7" PBR setup.
