The custom rotor thing can be both a pro and con. On the plus side, it increases the number of wheels that will fit the brakes since it has a deeper offset than the C5/C6 components. On the negative side, you don't have the aftermarket support or availability that you would with Corvette components.
Regarding the CPP kits being 60% stronger than the C5/C6 kits...not sure how much that really counts for when it's your tires that are typically the limiting factor when determining minimum stopping distances. Anything beyond lock-up is stil locked-up last I checked. Since the caliper piston areas are so much larger though, it does allow the use of the "standard" 1-1/8" bore GM master cylinder in a vacuum boosted application versus the smaller bore units required with the C5/C6 setups. Essentially you run the larger calipers at lower pressures to achieve the same brake torques up to the point that the tires lose traction.
For the money, the CPP kit is a good kit, but it isn't meant to be on par with a C5/C6 kit.
