I used the stop-tech rotors and pads and never had any issues with them.Of course I don't race or track it.

Check out Power Stop breaks. They have a Z37-1404 package and a Z23 package i don't know if the Z26 package fits the v6 If your budget is on the low end. I think the z37 is only front breaks used on cop cars the z23 is good for daily driving.
If price doesn't matter then look at Wilwood, or StopTech. Im sure there's plenty other options available too.

You can always do a Brembo conversion.

What makes using Brembo a "conversion"? I though Brembo was just a brand of brakes/rotors.

I went with the Power Stop Z23 ceramic pads & vented slotted rotors front & rear after installing them on a couple other cars. The best price I found was on EBay. Very happy with their performance.

Brembos off the SS or higher model Camaro. There's no V6 Brembo package. You convert to what the V8 models use.

I tried all kinds of pads for mine and was never that satisfied. I bought brand new 4 piston Brembo's for a Cadillac that are direct bolt on (around 150$ from ZZ Performance). They came with power stop brake pads, which I didn't like. I always use EBC red or yellow stuff now. I also bought some SS rear brakes from another member from this site. The stopping is much better, but still leaves a bit to be desired. My other car is a BMW Z4 with amazing brakes, so maybe I shouldn't compare to that car.

Well yea! The Z4 weighs ~800lbs less, no wonder it's easier to stop!

Personally I just replaced my brakes with Duralast max rotors and pads all around, and I felt like i was getting good OE brake performance.

That being said, about 3 weeks ago I stumbled upon a great deal on a set of brembos from a 2010 SS. The V6 stopping power is good, but this is a completely different feeling, and I wouldn't go back.
