hey so my brakes are startin to get old so i was just wondering in your opinions what brakes i should get. i have a 97 with a few add-ons, but mainly for a moderate driver and all nothng really hard on the car

 

I just just picked up some hawk hps pads for 130 and a set of 4 rotorwork roters for 170 for all four from the ws6store.com. The hole thing cost me $344 for a new set up. Its a awsome deal. here is the link.

Are you just looking for pads and rotors, or whole new brake assemblies? If you are looking for just pads, then I second the Hawks. If you are looking for a whole new brake assembly, swapping the brakes from an LS1 equipped car is a very cheap upgrade that will improve your cars stopping power tremendously.

 

I agree, i wouldn't really spend anything on the LT1 brake setup. I bought the LS1 swap off ebay for $165 shipped. I cleaned it up and reused the rotors and the pads were like new. By the time i had the LS1 setup installed i had a complete total of about $200 in them including paint, brake fluid, and caliper decals. The pads were just some cheap auto store ones and the car still stops better than my buddy's 97 z28 with high dollar pads.

 

Those rotors are light castings (near stock weight) so I'd stay away from them.
