Are LS1 rear brakes better than LT1 rear brakes?

I have a front C5 brake conversion in the mail, and was just wondering if the LS1 rear calipers are better than the LT1 calipers, or should I just get good pads/rotors for the back?

Re: Are LS1 rear brakes better than LT1 rear brakes?

The actual performance isnt any better, but the parking brake setup on an LS1 car is far better IMO. As little braking as the rears do, unless you're going to be doing hardcore road racing (and very few are), then you can just leave the rears alone. I'd only get better rotors and pads for racing purposes.
