My Yukon is more of a family hauler/ daily driver but i do have the 22 inch wheels. I usually am in the opinion of better to have and not need it, then need it and not have it. All the threads i have been reading seem to be stating to me that the daily driver powerstop kit z23 is more than enough.

from the Silverado forum..

he Z36 does offer about 25-30% more stopping power than stock, while the Z23 is good for about 15-20% better than stock.

So it really comes down to what you feel comfortable with..

carbon fiber+ceramic = noise and dust
you have to take the good with the bad I suppose
good luck, power stop brakes are good but a person "might" consider that brakes are a wear item so I buy the duralast premium ceramic, no dust, no noise and lifetime warranty.
one time purchase and I never have to pay for pads ever again as long as I have a vehicle that those pads fit.
I wear brakes out faster than most people so perhaps my opinion is skewed. I did not like the noise and dust of the carbon fiber, did it brake better? meh maybe a smidge if anything.
I do use there rotors on a couple vehicles, no complaints they hold up well, the ones I use are made from g3000 iron
