installed new rotors, pads, + painted calipers
Finally got them done. I bought the powerstop premium line slotted/drilled rotors and powerstop ceramic pads from brakemotive, a sponsor over on ls1tech.com, for $360 shipped. I got the silver g2 caliper kit for about $30 shipped and the decals came from vinzdecals.com for $11. They work extremely well compared to the stock hardware. Here's some pics:
and here's a few pics of my hand controls- I don't think I've posted any of those yet. The lever to the left of the steering column is the brake and gas. Push in for brake and down for gas- pretty simple.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm happy with the way they turned out and no more brake fade with a full tank of gas.

I brushed it on and it was easy to apply, it just took some time. We were a little pressed for time cause we were trying to make it to a cruise and burnout contest, but it still came out good. It set up pretty fast too, I was driving it about two hours after we finished eventhough they say to wait 24 hours.

Yeah I don't feel like taking apart my whole braking system because of space / time problems. So I was wondering how the G2 kit was with painting it on. Would be much easier to just remove a tire and then paint than to remove everything in a parking lot.
