      I would argue that a Wilwood Superlite 4 caliper is superior to all of those. The c5 Z06 caliper is functionally identical to the non Z06 caliper, and if it were good, people wouldnt be replacing them in doves in corvette circles. I would look at 2 companys : AP Racing and Performance Friction Components. Both make great calipers in the same price rance. If you want the best get "Brake Man" brakes.

      Just to clarify a little bit on James' Wilwood comment. The Superlite 4 has a larger swept area, 4.84 vs. 4.05 for the SL6 and can work with a 1.25" rotor vs. a 1.1 rotor. However, if you are looking at buying a kit, Wilwood themselves do not package a kit with that caliper but they do the SL6...
