I think it is a valid upgrade. I went from the factory 12 inch rotors, to GS calipers and rotors, then to C5 brakes on my C4. I warped the C4 stuff fairly easy, at autocrossing and when trying to slow down from 120 mph runs at the drag strip.
I have had ss lines,good brake fluid in all set ups, and only two tires, BFG KD's and Firestone SZ50's. I have used several different pads. if I wasnt racing the J55/GS set up with new fluid and Hawk pads are just fine.
For HPDE, spend the money on real brake system. Unless you do it once or twice a year.
Also, the C6 calipers are better than the C5's as they tend to spread easily on HPDE type events.
