Unless you go with the new SSBC (www.ssbc.com) dual piston Force 10 caliper replacement, you really don't have any other options for calipers without going with a totally different system. What's important is to increase the size of the rotor and the SSBC caliper won't help you there.

My recommendation: Look into the C4, C5, or LS1 upgrades unless you can spend more money on the brakes then go with Spohn's new Wilwood kit.

Ed,
Thanks for the info, guess I will just on some good rotors and pads and use stock replacement calipers. BTW the web page sbcc is a baseball web page.

Thanks
Brad
