first option regular non z06 c6 brakes
second option cts-v 4 piston fronts with cts-v rotors
third option i am curious about as i saw a write up on here concerning this method and it was met with controversy- cts-v calipers with c6 or c6 z51 rotors with spindle modification to bring the caliper in closer to the hub to fit the smaller rotors.

My main concern is lock up issues and weight vs benefit. Any opinions would be appreciated.

How extreme do you want to go? If you are wanting to other mods and not wanting to blow your budget, would you consider other options. Where/when and how to you drive your car the most?

There are a ton of options out there!
