I have 13" front rotors with Baer 6 pot calipers and 12" rear rotors with Wilwood 4 pot calipers. I wish I had gone right to Brembo calipers but hind site now. I have tried lots of different compounds from Wilwood, Carbo tech and others, currently use a Porterfield compound. The master cylinders are AP with a 7/8" front and 3/4" rear and adjustable bias bar. Brake modulation is good just too easy to lock. I just took 1 degree of camber out of both the front and rear this week. Hopefully decel will be better now. Rotors are very high grade Stop Tech front and Wilwood's best in rear. Front pads are Corvette size so tons of material choices rears Wilwood so not as many choices. Bigger rotors just add rotating inertia so that is not the answer either maybe ceramic.

I am surprised you are not logging the shocks.

We have linear pots for that just have not installed, they are delicate enough that I don't like leaving them on shocks. We have dyno curves for all possible settings on our shocks and have a pretty good handle on what we need with our spring rates and unsprung corner weights. We use the shocks more as a dynamic tuning tool than something to monitor. We do not go out side our specific range of adjustment though because the car can get very bad very fast if we do.
