Part of it. For normal street use, you are never going to exceed the capabilities of an lt1 stock caliper. The actual rotor size of ls1s are much bigger though and do stop quite a bit quicker. IMO lt1 brakes are perfectly fine if you aren't going to autocross/road race too much.

I won't be autocrossing much, just a couple of times a summer maybe.

That's another question, how are these pads for brake dust?

I have them on the TA and SS.. Work great.. I tried them out good yesterday at the track, No problems slowing her down from 120... The pads have more dust than stock, but not bad.. I'd buy em again.. Brakemotive76 is the seller..

believe it or not, it is MUCH better than my cheap-o duralast metallic pads. I was pleastanly surprised

**alone_and_insane** · May 25th, 2011, 06:06 PM

so what do you guys think of an LS1 brake upgrade? worth the time/effort/money?

**my95z28** · May 25th, 2011, 06:14 PM

For your application I wouldn't. Save up and get some better looking wheels

**alone_and_insane** · May 25th, 2011, 06:28 PM

I'm getting C6 Z06 replicas for a graduation present to myself next spring.

**Gregs_gsxr** · May 25th, 2011, 06:43 PM

**Lucky SOB** · May 25th, 2011, 07:28 PM

I bought my drilled rotors and ceramic pads from "Brake Labs" on eBay - love the way they look!

im still running stock LT1 brakes and i autocross and road race. They seem plenty capable as long as you arent standing on them from a 130mph back stretch, and basically just not doing anything to get them too hot. But that said, I still say upgrading to C5 or LS1 brakes is money well spent. My colorado has dual piston calipers and it stops amazing compared to my camaro. The braking force is delivered very smoothly and it can also lock the front tires on command at 60mph if you want it to.

i'm going to be buying this (ls1 style) for my car as soon as i get the funds. as larry said, he has them and likes them. and good price!

**alone_and_insane** · May 26th, 2011, 07:41 PM

hmm...decisions decisions...this notion of an LS1 brake upgrade is very tempting...

**alone_and_insane** · May 30th, 2011, 06:16 PM

so what will I need for the LS1 brake upgrade? I know I need front spindles, calipers, and rotors, but I'm not positive what I need from the rear.

**sman** · May 30th, 2011, 06:20 PM

I have a set of front calipers if interested.
