Is it realy worth it to upgrade to the LS1 brakes? I really think that my fronts are warped, and need to replace them. It seems like a fairly cheap upgrade to do, so im really contemplating doing it. However, I dont really have that much money to play with, so Im kinda hoping that the set im looking at doesnt go up too much in price. I would like to do the Vette brake upgrade, but I def dont have that money and dont have 17 inch rims either. So yeah, is it worth it?

I was kind of wondering about this myself.
Like you though, I don't have the cashflow
Unlike you, however; I do have 17" rims

From what I've read - yes, it's worth it.

What is different between the LT1 and LS1 brakes? I know they are bigger and better, but how? How much bigger, why are they better?

Go for it! This upgrade can be done for around $200. Keep in mind that you can get these brakes from a wrecked base model Camaro or Firebird as well as their more higher powered siblings for they are all the same. If you do get your brake components from a wrecked car, be sure that there wasn't any front suspension damage done to the donor or you may find that you could have alignment problems. I have heard of a few cases where some people wound up purchasing used steering knuckles that were slightly bent. The installation is very straight forward, and the results are very rewarding!

12" rotors,dual piston aluminum calipers,nicer lookin & performing.Try contacting this guy "hellofva nice fella" wont sell you crud thats bent and complete packages even turns/freshen up the rotors. He salvages alot of Zs SSs etc. has alot of other stuff too. cleveland_pick_a_part@yahoo.com
$200 is about what all end up at...at Ebay.He is one of the main sellers of them.He will do direct w/o biddin at least I had the opportunity.
