I have Wilwood 6pot (Bp30) front, Wildwood 4pot (B10) rear setup on my C5. I get some rumbling on my front braking but the rear is smooth. Im thinking of putting in BP10 pads upfront + I think my passenger side caliper is defective. Cars pulls left when braking and I get a squeal from that caliper even after proper bedding procedure and multiple bleeds and fresh grease.

What about a BBK do you believe provide more breaking force? AP and Stoptech front kits shift bias rearward, meaning they are providing less force then stock.

Less than a year total. 2 track days on em. But I don't think I've ever felt anything rumbling. :/

I'll try and do some light braking and see if I notice anything of that nature

Tires also play an important role in stopping distance.

I can appreciate wanting better brake performance daily driving. I recently went from Project Mu HC800 hybrid pads on Hankook RS3 to Stoptech Sports on GT Radial SX2 and miss the immediate bite of my old setup. But they also ate my rotors every 30k miles and dust like a mofo. I may switch back after these wear out and just live with the more constant change since they are cheap enough (though the stoptechs are still a fair bit cheaper).

I've also driven on Winmax W3 and liked those for daily as well.

My goal is better brake performance than the stock brakes and save some weight. I don't think I need those bigger 6 piston kits since I don't track my car. I am not going for looks, I am not even ordering the colored calipers. All I care is better brake performance but not more than I need.

Based on my googling, these brakes keep the original rear/front brake balance and provide better braking performance. And, the cost is not too high.

Am I missing anything? I would appreciate any other thoughts before I order them.
We can help you setup your car properly if you give us the chance.

I definitely don't have any rumbling that I can attribute to the brakes.. I've got solid or near solid mounts all over the place though too!

What slotted rotors do you have? The ones I have are like these, which could also be why I don't feel the rumble -

I have these rotors.

I think it might be the directional slots causing the issue.
