Default c4 brake upgrades in second gen Fcar

As some of you know I'm putting c4 front and rear suspension in my '71 RS and I've been looking at my corvette donor car and was thinking that the factory brakes could use an upgrade.What options would some of you guys suggest I have as far as bigger rotors and better calipers?Keep in mind I am willing to do some fabricating to make it work and keeping overall expense down is important ,but not so much so that I'd be willing to sacrifice safety for a few hundred dollars.I feel I need to add that I would like to use use manual brakes with two master cylinders and a bias bar and in-car adjuster along with adjustable prop. valve for the best brake balance.I have some c5 deep dish wheels (18x9frt/18x10rear)so I have room for 13" rotors in front and rear ,but would deem 12" rear sufficient.Any suggestions ,anyone?
