I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
Brakes and rotors are kinda easy.
Honestly the OEM pads are fantastic in this car, I’ve been told by the guy that runs the xgen autocross page that the oem ones are fine for most street and autocross applications.
The clutch is light, the brakes feel solid, and the manual steering has a good, confident feel. The engine doesn't lug even if you bring it down to around idle speed, provided you're in the right gear.
The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.
Brake pads and rotors for the fit i prefer OEM since they last around 60,000km. I paid less than that including fluid changes at a shop in the Toronto area.
The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.
There good cars with excellent visibility, but single digit MPG in the city and eats brakes and rotors.
Loose steering, very wallowy, crappy brakes, very much a truck but even teenage me though it felt ancient.
If there's a sore point on the Si, it's the brakes. It's that initial application is far too touchy, making smooth heel-and-toeing difficult especially when only light brake application is required. That abruptness proves annoying even in hard use, and the slightly spongy pedal feel doesn't help matters.
