Brake/Rotor/Caliber questions

I currently have an 05 Z51 and just upgraded the brakes with stainless lines, an air duct kit, and Hawk pads. I didn't replace the calibers or rotors yet since everything is still working good.

I want to keep the stock rims. I just really like them, but I want to eventually upgrade my calibers and was wondering what everyone suggests. I figure a rotor upgrade will be no big deal, but I will need calibers that will fit my rims.

Any advice is much appreciated!
