I am considering upgrading the brakes on a gen IV 96 firebird and of course cost and performance are a consideration.  I know paying the big bucks for Baer or SSBC would give the best performance but would also be the highest price.  GMHTP did a gen III article several issues back but I could not find the before and after performance numbers.  Did you publish any performance numbers?  Has anyone compared actual performance between standard LS1 brakes and a C5 Z06 brake upgrade on the gen IV's?

I am new to the site,noticed your inquiry.Have heard alot about the brake upgrade on your car.Brake performance is stated as much better and cosmetics is also a plus. I own a 2002 twin turo Z06 with 8000 miles and upgraded to the 2007 Z06 brakes (rotors,calipers,pads) and i have the rotors,calipers,pads,brackets and hoses that i am going to put up for sale if you may become interested.
