Bill,
Thanks for the advice. You've probably already read about it on this forum or pt.com, but you might want to look real closely at those c6 zo6 brakes before you make your decision. I know, I've been really tempted to use those too but there are several drawbacks to consider. They have a significant "outboard" width, which makes finding wheels that will fit a pain. It's also very expensive to replace all those pads. Here's the template for those brakes from kore3:

Here's also a link to a big discussion about the brakes from the zo6 forum. The guy from Stoptech, J Ritt, starting on page two has a lot of well made points about the caliper and pad design:

In that thread they do make the distinction that street brakes and race brakes are specifically designed for very different environments and neither can be expected to perform well in the wrong environment. Apparently the zo6 brakes are fine for the street, but you still have the wheel fitment issues and the cost of replacing pads. But after all of this, I still like them...
