SS Upgrade options for 6P fronts?

Hi guys,
Didn't see any recent posts on this, apologies if i missed any.

What options are there for upgrading to 6 p brembos front for the SS?
I've seen the Chevy performance, and it's about $2500-$3000 depending on where ordered. Seen the Wilwood but at least one string on here showed the pads being much smaller than the 6p Brembo.
And seen the recent posts on the kit from ZZP, which seems to be about the best price option.

Anyone do this upgrade any cheaper or better?

for those who have done this, would like to hear you feedback on whether it was worth it or not. I will track maybe 3-4/year, but want the increased stopping for the hill country sprinted Saturday morning runs. ;-)

Also, anyone have the weight different, with the 14.6 two piece, vs stock 13.6 one piece?

TIA!

trust me i looked into for along time before pulling the trigger on the zzp kit



you can try to look for a used 1le or zl1 kit but normally are around $2000-3000 and you may have to replace some of the parts as it will be used or you can always go baller and go with wilwood or ap racing or brembo kit but the zzp kit is perfect


the rear ss brakes are the same as 1le so need to upgrade

Thanks, yes, i was following (read as stalking... lol) your posts on the zzp kit. it will probably be the way i go, should i do this. I failed to mention i have seen some folks selling their 1le or zl1 kits, on here or facebook groups, but they are too proud of them, at least imo.

Since you've had them a little bit now, how you liking them? Any downsides?
