LS brakes are a significant upgrade over the stock brakes.
If your stock brakes are in good working order with good pads, you shouldnt have any trouble stopping at stock power on stock wheels... at all.
any turbo engine your looking close to 280hp and up.. and is a good time for brakes.

I was considering a big 3 upgrade but I'm not sure if my alternator would be able to power everything.... PLEASE HELP ( sorry for doing this in your thread i just don't know how to open a new one! yes, its my first day on the site)

Do you have a capacitor installed? the SC is very power sensitive. if your electrical system is not charging efficiently or there is something not connected properly, you can have the symptoms you described. first thing i would do is go to the local auto retailer and have them do the free alternator and battery test.
