Personally for me, this is the reason I went with Z51 brakes, far cheaper to deal with from a maintenance stand point and other than hard track use will function nearly as well, especially if you factor in that Z51s will let you run lighter 18s (barely) and Z06s push you into a heavier 19" wheel. Then again I run my brakes hard and run slotted rotors which if you want them to bite well are really doing a total brake job with rotors every, or at least every other, time you do them.
DBS slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads will run you about $400 or so to change out, Z06s of the same type will run about $650, and Wilwood, Baer or Brembos will be closer to a grand if not over and stationary calipers with the padlets have to be done more often.

I think I understand what your trying to say but on the rotors why would I have to get them redrilled every time they already come in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern as far as maintenance truck isn't going to be a daily driver actually it's hardly going to get used since I'm always working. Also I may be wrong but these rotors etc will last quite a while on my 06 ss clone it's got about 90k miles on it and still has the original rotors and it's always had 22s or larger wheels since day 1 when I bought it new in 06
