I have the C5 calipers with F-body rotors and pads. The "dive" I had when braking with the stock LS calipers was eliminated.

thats a good start. do you happen to know if your rear abs activates before your front channels normally? i must say, there is a bit more brake dive than ive seen before in the camaro. and moving he brake bias backwards does tend to reduce that. i thought it was just a quirk of the car
