Default Braking upgrade

Im looking for a front brake kit that will make a desent increase in braking performance for about a grand
I'm not taking about some replacement rotors a pads but a bigger brake setup

This is for my 2011 crew cab with factory 20's so I should have some room

Z06 brake upgrade...only other option for around a grand is not worth it imo..

Front z06 brackets $150
Front 15" Baer Rotors $550
Front z06 Calipers $ 4-700ish
s/s braided lines,hardware $250

I put the Baer plus sized rotors on my 06 and used their brackets to relocate the stock caliper. It works better than the factory, but not as good as a system with new and better calipers. The kit is only $600 though, instead of $1500 plus.
