Well guys i did find the SSBC brake kit not sure how i missed that. (A181) I like it that what i was looking for. I have to call them and see if they will work with the 14 inch rims (stock) I have on the front of the car the back has 15s it has a nice rake to it that i don't want to change.

SSBC makes some nice stuff, they are located about 15 minutes from my house in Clarence, NY. I do not think that that brake kit will work with 14 inch wheels if I remember correctly though.
 
ok thanks ill have to find out for sure
 
I just took a peek at their site and the kit your looking at says minimum wheel size is 15 inches. However, the other kit that they offer (A202 red or black) will fit standard wheels.
 
I went with B body brake system : cheap and the 1LE option rotors fit ....( 10.5" to 12" )
cost minimal ...performance optimal
 
Brake pads are usually never mentioned when a thread pops up about upgrading brakes. The difference in braking using a basic pad compared to a performance pad is nite and day no matter what size the rotor is...

and the B body set up uses the same calipers and pads as the F body 11" set up but the B body is a heavier set up..
