Default Curt, Curt, Curt.............

stop like a Z06............

Brakes are a lot more than desire. You can not have what is not available. There are reasons that none of us will ever overcome to stop 'like a z06'. You don't have the weight, you don't have the contact patch(probably), you don't have the lack of compliance, you don't have vertical force.............. the list goes on. But, I am sure, reasonably, that it could be better!

You say fade is ever present. What type of fade? Aside from fade, tell me what else you don't like.

Work with me and you will be much happier. Change this and that will only lead to frustration.

You mention larger rotors. The only thing larger rotors will give you is a unbalanced system (unless you adjust it out or it was wrong in that direction in the first place), lower peddle effort (maybe) and perhaps and increase in pad fade temp.

Stop changing parts. Be specific! realize that it WILL take effort on your part. It WILL take time. It WILL come with no simple answers. It WILL take compromise. Unless of course budget is no consideration!

Side note, no reason to cross drill rotors in your situation. The tend to crack, they lower mass (bad for what you are trying to cure), same effect can be had with out the dark side!
