Make it stop!!! Brake upgrades? I want better brakes on my 4th Gen.
Is the CTS-V 4 piston callipers and C6 Zo6 rotors still the way to go? Is there anything better for similar money?
I'm in the United Kingdom (England), so I want to be able to find replacement pads and rotors in years to come. Nothing bespoke.
If this is the case, help me out a little.
Are these the right callipers:

Parts 89047726 - CALIPER CTS; Right; w/CTS-V and 89047727 - CALIPER CTS; Left; w/CTS-V? That website doesn't seem to have any further detail.
I also know I need some brake lines:

These the right ones?

What about rear brakes? Should I just stick with some good OEM rotors and proven pads? Or do I need to upgrade these too? I don't want to throw off the brake balance.
Thank you.

I bought my calipers from Amazon:
ACDelco 172-2287
ACDelco 172-2288
the brake lines i got from Kore3, i just email them and told them what i was doing and they sent me exactly what i needed and price was good too.
I got the NAPA Ultra Premium rotors for a 5th Gen Camaro and had the center hub milled open to what our Camaro takes.
Then some Hawk HPS pads and ATE Super Blue fluid.
