Big brake kit from RSM. Nice kit but it will cost you like $3000.00USD though. You can get stainless braided teflonlines for pretty cheap. Then there are lots of high preformance pads you can get. Plus crossdrilled and slotted rotors w/zinc plating are available at a resonable prices as well. As far as calipers go I don't know of any aftermarket ones available. But I believe you can do a swap of the 1996 front brake assembley. I don't know all the in's and out's of the whole thing but it's a cheap upgrade if you can find a wrecker.

OK I found the old post on this same topic, here it is.

Hope this helps.I would upgrade to the 94+ style rear brakes. They are bigger and less prone to problems. The only downside is that the parking brake is a pain in the ass to hook up. Also, 96+ style front brakes are available. They are .75" bigger, but much harder to install. You need the entire strut assembly from a 96+ car to swap. Both of these upgrades can be had at a junkyard for pretty cheap. I paid $100 for the fronts and $75 for the rears. (Plus rotors and pads which are up to you) For more information on these, go here: http://www.w-body.com/upgrades/brake...alipers94.html and here: http://www.w-body.com/upgrades/brakes-rotors.html
