Best brakes with a 15-16" wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The situation -
- CPP modular spindles
- 16" Steelies
- Existing stock C10 disc brake setup.

I'd like to explore some ideas for improved stopping with smaller diameter wheels.
I know wheel diameter is usually a limiting factor when improving brakes, but I had these wheels custom built for a somewhat unique frame/body situation, and I wanted to keep an "original" look.

So, if I'm stuck with a 16" wheel, what are my best options for improving my stopping ability without massive discs?
