Yes, but in the end, it will still be at least $1000. C5/C6 corvette brakes can be done. I did it on my gen2 camaro front end. They use a 13' slip on rotor, and twin piston forged aluminum caliper. Calipers are $2-300, and EBC rotors/pads are about $130.

Check out Kore3 for the hubs/kits. kore3.com They have the hubs for C10, but the rotors will have to be drilled for 5x5 bolt pattern.

I started with a cheap conversion kit. I can't recommend that because they use gen3 camaro rotors as a hub, and machine them in a lathe to make your new spindle. When I pressed in the wheel studs, they cracked. Run away from these cheepass kits! The Kore3 hubs are billet aluminum, and a work of art!
