With respect to the front brakes, you can run the late-model GM tall-spindles from the 91-96 B-bodies with 12" rotors (as well as a host of other makes/models through the 80's). Obviously, the B-body rotor is 5x5 however the 1LE F-body rotor (88-92?) is the same as the B-body rotor only with a 5x4.75 pattern. This set up will still allow you to run 15" wheels if that's part of the plan.

C5/C6 Corvette brakes are an excellent big-brake option with the GMTS spindle, however they will require 17" wheels and Corvette parts don't tend to come as cheap as B-body parts in the wrecking yards. C3/C4 would be a waste of time, effort and money in my opinion considering if you're trying to maximize your performance per dollar spent, although they have some merit if you're going stick with a 15" or 16" wheel.

Good luck,
Tobin
