Brake Time
I have a stock setup on my C5 and want to upgrade to counter my new HP gain. On a budget, is the Z06 setup my best option? I know that there are a lot of higher-end brake setup's out there but I'm only putting 402hp to the rear wheels so I don't need the best the market has to offer.
If the Z06 is my best option, then I'm assuming that the rotors are no different than my stock C5. I would really just be looking at the calipers and pads, right?
I don't want to limit any responses but I also don't want to pay over $1K for a complete setup.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

C5 Z06 Capilers and Rotor Differences
The Z06 calipers are red, standard C5 calipers are not. Thats it!
Rotors are the same also. The brake pads are different They are very good but very dusty.
