Update on the EBC Blue Stuff?
I have a CTS V-Sport (sister platform) and tried Hawk HP Plus on my stock front (13.6" 4 piston brembo, single piston rears that are the same as yours I think).
I fried my rear brakes off after a loooong day and 6 or 7 sessions at Buttonwillow last June in near 100F heat and had to replace the pads before my drive home.
But I fried them again at Laguna on April 6 in one single session. It was absurd! Single piston, sliding caliper setups are dumb as shit, from a performance standpoint. Clearly that didn't stop us from going for it anyway though!!! So, if you are on single piston fronts, the 4 piston brembo upgrade is easy peasy, though if you're getting way faster, jumping to the 370mm from the SS 1LE is probably wise, it is what I am doing.
I also replaced my rear brakes with the rears from a ZL1/1LE/CTS V-3 (365mm four pot brembos). Shop hard and you can find good setups all around. Top tip, the CTS V (second gen) calipers will bolt right on to your car with minimal modifications (except having to cut the rear dust shield back) and is highly recommended.
