The AP Racing system or the Brembo ZL1 system are both great options and can keep you around the $6,000 range for complete bolt on systems that do not require anything else and work with ABS and the stock master cylinder. PM us for additional details.
And let's not forget that the Camaro is a bit heavier than the ZR-1, has proportionally more weight over the front axle and has more forward weight transfer under braking. In my estimation (based on direct experience with carbon-ceramic conversions), there will not be enough rotor mass in the ZR-1 CCM kit to handle the Camaro's weight properly. For street driving (if the balance and ABS issues were sorted out), they might be OK. But for any real high performance use or track duty, oxidation would be a killer. Front rotor replacement would be REAL expensive.
