Two questions:
1. What is/was their intended design purpose?
2. Can you measure the piston sizes & we'll run some calcs?

I got these from James Shipka as they were used on his One Lap Camaro a couple years before he switched. Their intended purpose is dual street/track. I have the slotted-only version (not drilled). Here are the links he sent me:

Piston sizes (Hey Rob, look at that!) we measured to be as follows:
1.05 / 1.05 in the rear and 1.5 / 1.25 / 1.05 in the front.
They also came with some Mintex Xtreme and Raybestos pads. Not sure which we will try out first.
After some discussions with a couple people I was planning on starting with 3/4 / 3/4 MC bores.
Thanks Ron

I fell victim but reading this reminds me why I really wanted to run smaller rotors out back.

Yep. Nothing looks worse than an 11" rotor inside a 20" wheel.
But then a lot of this talk is really helping to validate that form can be trumped by function and then form can actually be aesthetically appealing because of it.
