Thanks for the props guys. The great thing about brakes is that there is no shortage of options, so you should be able to find something the fits your performance needs within your budget. The C5/C6(Z51/Z06) brakes are great options for the money and are extremely well supported by the aftermarket in terms of pads and rotors.

While I undestand the desire for larger rear calipers from an aesthetics point of view, the less unsprung weight you hang on your rear axle the better. If size really is the most important thing to you, then focus on making your rear axle as rigid as possible and run the C6 Z06 4-piston calipers...they're big and functional and will maintain a good balance with C5/C6(Z51/Z06) fronts. Like any fixed caliper though, pad knockback should be taken into consideration depending on the rest of the system.
