Default C5 brakes

I have 133K everyday laid back driving on my C5 base and have always used OEM brakes.
After reading for hours about brakes I’m thinking (Power Stop Z26 Street Warrior Performance Brake Kit K1560-26)
Is anyone using these brakes on their C5 base? What do you think about em?
1,000 Thanks.
