Default KORE 3 C6 Z06 brakes on 4th Gen Fbody...Anyone?

I want to upgrade the brakes on my car and have found a few different options. I know I don't "need" 6 piston calipers, but I want them, so i've narrowed it down to either the wilwood superlite 6 piston kit, the baer xtreme +, or the KORE 3 c6 Z06 kit. Any thoughts on any of them? If so, what have you heard/experienced?

Thanks

the new popular thing to do around here is CTS-V 4 piston brembos.

It only fits 18" or bigger wheels and you need to make sure you have enough space even still with offset.

Most wheels you would need a spacer.

i was thinking about the kore3 c6z brake kit too. apparently it fits under 18" CCW505a wheels - also known as the sickest f-body wheels in the known universe - people around here love the bash all over the c6z brakes but i cant figure out why. they complain about them being too heavy and about the pad configuration but most have never used them. i'd ask a c6z owner what they think of their brakes before buying just for some first hand experience.

there is a blue camaro that has the entire c6z06 brake setup (fronts and rears)...looks sick. I did the CTS-v fronts that were mentioned already, kore3 said they would make brackets for the rears if I was willing to pay, still deciding on if I want to do the rears.
