Same with my son's GTI and Elantra N.
I used GM DOT 4 on both my Camaros and never an issue.

I wouldn't exactly say that it's "Better" coach. I think it comes down to personal preference. What you're describing is initial bite. Whereas others, may prefer a more progressive feel.
When I tracked motorcycles I preferred immediate lever feel, similar to what you're describing. However, in the car, I actually prefer OEM. I like that the initial bite is less potent as it helps stop me from overbraking and i can trail it to the apex without locking things up.
At my pace (FukkenFast), I honestly don't see Girodisc cutting any more time from my laps. In fact, I should probably be braking less.
Obviously, you're very knowledgable and I respect the hell out of you. However, I just can't wrap my head around anyone wanting to change out the OEM ZL1-1LE brakes (aside from the fluid) unless they're racing at Pro level for hour-long races.
