I decided to do a budget (relatively speaking) big brake upgrade. I worked with Scott at BBU.com and came up with this setup:

Spindles/Hubs: 1LE C6 base modified spindles from BBU.com
Calipers - Cadillac ATS 4-piston Brembo
Rotors - Centric C6 base (13")
Fluid - ATE Original TYP 200 DOT 4
Pads - Centric Posi-Quiet Metallic w/Shims

The rear is LS1 disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors and hawks pads iirc (bought used).

Overall happy with the setup. I bed them in and it really wants to stop now. It does feel like the rears lock up before the fronts do. An adjustable prop valve would be nice, but not necessary.

 

nice, what size are you front wheels? I think Scott said these will work with 17 inch wheels.

 

Yup, that was one of my constraints. I wanted to fit in the C5 Z06 stock front wheels which is 17x9.5. In my opinion, the tire to wheel ratio looks just right that size.
