The C5 calipers are still a slide rail caliper, and a mediocre one at that. The issue is wheel clearance for a 4 or 6 pot caliper. If you have the clearance, the Wilwood SL6R, Brembo, PFC etc, are a big improvment. You can get the Caddy CTS-V Brembo for about $200 each, then make an adapter.


And you are also talking about a huge difference in money to go with the huge difference in braking. The C5 stuff is a decent small step and anybody who is thinking hard about track duty, already knows they need a heavy duty caliper/pad/rotor.

We are talking about C4 guys. Most of these people have bought a car for 6-10k, and most of them are not going to dump 3k in a front brake set up.
