I've been running the Centric high carbons on the rear too but I'm not sure it's necessary. The rears really don't take much abuse. I put the Centric rotors and Hawk DTC60's on in April 2019 and have daily driven them, run 6 weekends at Sebring and one at Daytona. They're getting thin now and will probably survive this weekend at Sebring but that will finish them off.
I'm only getting two weekends out of the DTC70's on the front so I'm using the brakes hard. At $300+ for a set of pads it's a pretty big consumable. They haven't let me down but I'm sure the 6 piston ones wouldn't require as much pedal effort and probably be more gentle on a set of pads. If you stick with this and start getting faster, especially with your horsepower, you're going to need to think about a brake upgrade.
Here's a few laps from June and my personal best but you can watch JC in his green 6th gen SS blow by me on the back stretch somewhere around the 4:45 mark in the video. He's putting 540 hp to the wheels with an E85 tune on a modified naturally aspirated LT1. I would think about dialing yours back to somewhere around that neighborhood. He's running full slicks and 6 piston brakes as well.
