That really depends on your application and usage. For street mild track a simple 70+ Nova disc swap would work fine. You can find them in the wreckers from anywhere between $300-600. I may have a few sets (less master & booster) in a few weeks.
Now if your going to the track offen or heavy street driving use your stock drum spindles and go with a C5 front and LT1(93-97) rear set up. Lots of nice aftermarket parts available. This set up can be put together cheap but I have to be honest if you need the parts now fronts will run you around $350 for reman loaded calipers, $100 for GM rotors, $75 for hoses and $110 for adapter brackets & hardware.
Rears would be $275 for loaded reman calipers, $75 for rotors, $50 for hoses, and $105 for Baer style adapter brackets and $80 for misc ebrake parts.
You can aquire the C5 stuff used for alot cheaper if you cruise Corvette sites. I purchased a set of front and rear calipers for $200 from a member at a Z06 site.This takes time but you will get lucky if patient.

Cool, I can respect that, remember to factor in price of new rims and tires to help clear the larger brakes. Start shopping!
BTW nice 4 door and welcome to the site!
