I have some STi Calipers for sale if anyone wants to buy an awesome set up, but you need atleast 17's and you use evo rotors with them.

Its not just the caliper size but the rotor size thats larger aswell they use 12.8 inch rotors and they are 32mill thick

Z06 are even bigger than the STI/Z33. They are 6 pistons, and im fairly sure you are going to need a 18" rim with lots of room to clear em

Porsche is where to go if you want brakes that will stop you in a hurry, I wonder how the ceramic brakes from a GT3 would feel(if you had the right tires with it)

+1

Things not mentioned... size of rear brakes, brake balance, tire compound, pad material, diameter of master cylinder. These all affect how "good" brakes are, and how they feel.

^ True, but none of that was asked. He simply asked about size. In my own opinion, my favorite swap for a 240 is the Cadillac cts-v brakes, but again, not really needed unless your doing serious track time.
