Well for the calipers to work on a Fbody you have to order rotors that would work. So the 5th Gen Camaro SS or c6 zo6 rotors are the only options. Zo6 rotors are cross drilled but need spacers. Ss rotors need to be opened up to work.

Now if you bought the Z06, 6-piston calipers, you would want to run the Z06 rotors since the pads fit the rotors.
The pads on the Brembos are wider than the contact surface on the Z06 rotors, hence, you lose pad to rotor contact.

You do understand that the contact surface of the Brembo calipers and pads doesn't fit properly on the Z06 rotor? The rotors on the 5th gen camaro were designed to fully take advantage of the contact surface of the pads in the 4-piston brembos.

I haven't seen a side by side test of what rotors are best on this setup and you make a valid point.
It would be nice if someone made this system already for us at the prices we get it ffim building it. Plus show some results of the mod

The brake pads will actually hang off the inside of the rotor on the Z06 rotor, so as they start to wear, you will have this ridge created on the pad surface. That can't be good.
The only thing that needs to be done to the camaro rotor is to have the hub opening opened to fit the f-body, which shouldn't be a big deal. Call around to local brake shops and you should be able to find someone who can do it for you. I was more interested in having it done than shopping around for the best price.
I understand it would be nice to have a 'complete kit', but this is hotrodding, and sometimes that means going on a scavenger hunt finding peices that complete the puzzle.
