Can't beat a set of brakes from a 1998-2002 LS1 Camaro. Front and rear mounting brackets availible online. Grab some drum hubs and have em turned down to fit the rotor hat or buy a set of billets thru Kore3. Does the job for me on a budget. I got amy fronts on Craigslist for $200 and the rear set up off Ebay for $130. The drum hubs I got for free and you need disc spindles or if you have drum spindles they need milled down for rotor clearance. Most 17" rims will be fine, but 18's are the way to go for max clearance.

Vintage Wheel Works V-40's 18x8 w/ 4.5 bs and 18x9.5 w/ 5.5 bs.

No spacers, pan head allen bolt used in top of front wheel opening, tight clearance in the rear may require a little inner wheel well massaging with a hammer. Rear outer fender lips have not been rolled but it wouldn't hurt.
