They're easy to rebuild and cheaper than going to lsj brakes.

You must be the first person ever looking to downgrade your LNF brakes to LSJ lol
Like ppl said, rebuild them. The parts you need are available at crateenginedepot.com and here's a how-to I made when I did mine. 5280cobalts.com ? View topic - How-to: Rebuild Brembo (front) brake calipers

Naw plenty have went to LSJ brakes so they can fit certain rims that wouldn't otherwise go over the brembo's.

Thats normally because they want to drag race and fit 16s or they go to base model so 15s can fit. Not because they're having problems with the brembos

im with Ecaulk.

the brembos are easy to fix, if worse comes to worse just buy a new caliper, Rock Auto has them last time i was on there and also you can buy a good used one from Mongo he has some.

good luck OP

x2 Stock pads are the best for the front brakes.

When you order a rebuild kit for the calipers, make sure you get both the piston kit and boot kit.
