I know a lot of C6 Z06 guys replace their calipers with other brands, as they are a weak link in that car on the track. AP Racing and PFC both make better calipers.
i agree, but those guys buy a $75k car and throw another 10k at the brakes. i dont think most of them are on our budget. i also dont see any of them replacing their brakes with wilwood or baer. never looked into why, but i still thinks its because they can afford more.

i have the z06 brakes, but i upgraded to carbotech pads and will most likely upgrade later to a 2 piece rotor for weight savings. i shopped really hard for prices and scored a full set of calipers and pads for 650 shipped to my door. the kids dad was an executive with pbr. my full setup with dba rotors, kore 3 brackets/parking brake and carbotech pads ran me ~$2200 for front and rear.
