Default caliper upgrade?

Is there any "big" brake or brake performance upgrade calipers that work with the stock rotors size? I just got a set of aftermarket rotors 2 months ago so it'd be nice If I could avoid getting another set, Just curious. 4piston or 1 on each side would be nice.

Thx.

my wheels are 17x9 up front and 17x11 rear zr1.

Actually I think the short answer here is NO. The best and cheapest upgrade for the money is the C5 Corvette brake upgrade in my opinion, but then again, what do I know.
