hit up clkelley with Synthetic Motorsports (supporting vendor of TYF). The R1 Concepts are great and well priced too.

How much are you looking to spend? If you can afford to drop $3k, Brembos are the way to go. There are cheaper kits from like Wilwood and Baer too.

I've run R1Concepts in the past and they're pretty good. Unfortunately, GM seriously shorted us on the calipers, and just changing the pads and rotors doesn't solve that problem.

If you are searching the Internet for info and prices...use the word "brake" that should help

I have drilled and slotted rotors from R1 and ceramic pads from autozone and that stops my heavier than most burb.

If you have the cash to drop on the more expensive brakes then do that you wont regret it. If you are more on a budget then R1 will do you well. I heard SSBC has an upgraded kit for these might want to check that out.
