Turned out to be the pads, as once I put in Wilwood's race pad, the car stopped so well that it would hurt your chest if the pads got hot and you didn't modulate properly. It's not for everyone, but it offers flexibility you don't get from stock style brakes, but there are some pros and cons to consider.

Also, Wilwood makes a bolt on kit for C5 Vettes that could be used on our cars with brackets. That will save you a good chunk of change.
I'm not counting out the Wilwoods but I think it's worth messing with a different pad on my current setup. If I need a bit more, then I will weigh the options of a different rotor/caliper/pad.
