Default ZR1 calipers

I'm building a pro turing Camaro and going with the C6 Z06 brake setup.
I was wondering if the ZR1 calipers are any better than the Z06 calipers? I know the rotors are, but they are expensive.

Depends on the application

The ZR1 calipers are made by Brembo and many feel the design and manufacturing is better than the PBR calipers.

If this is a budget build then the Z06 calipers win.

Buy 09+ ctsv front rotors. Same thing as zr1 rotors just half the price.

Get Brembos, priced between the Z06 and ZR1 kit and be done with it. Wilwood also does the trick very well.
