its a dual piston caliper setup compared to single piston caliper on a LT1. Much better than LT1 brakes...night and day i think.

Better braking with less fade. They also look a heck of a lot better because they fill up the rim better.

If your interested I will be selling an LS1 front brake set-up with C5 rotors in a few weeks.

What size rims ya got??? You'll have to have 17" or better to clear the 13" rotors?

I'll have it in the FOR SALE section when I get the new stuff on.
