I found a really sweet brake mod at the track this weekend for vettes. Phoenix Performance will mill down the pistons and sliding clamps on the factory z51 single piston calipers. THey install a titanium heat resistant cap on the piston. The machining also allows the use of 21mm vice 16mm pads which provide extra heat protection. This set up is $600 with core exchange. Four of the t-1 cars were running this set up and loved it. They ran DBA 5000 series rotors because rings are only $150.
Also, Enkie let me know when you want to pick up the brake parts. They are in much better shape than I thought. I would honestly send them to phoenix racing for upgrade/rebuild. The front rotors are fine for the street too.
