I can only say I love my Z06 brakes. Converting to them is a bit costly since it requires at least 18” wheels F/R. I originally started w just the fronts but went with the Street Shop conversion for the rear for aesthetics. Not an inexpensive piece but what the heck.
Having said all that, even street driving changes. There’s simply no occasion that I have encountered where I have needed to stand on the brakes. I typically STOP sooner than I expect to. With much less effort.
Not trying to convince anybody, just trying to give my observations of what the bigger brakes are like.
