Where did you buy the kit? Did you swap prop valves? Braided lines too?
How much of an improvement do you feel in the pedal / stop difference?
The difference is very noticeable. I will be honest however, it's not as drastic as I was expecting based on the way everybody on the brake forum creams their pants over their brake upgrades. This is most likely due to me sticking with standard pads and stock rubber lines. I'm sure performance pads and braided would make the difference you're after. I'm also still "breaking them in". The rotor had a coating that you need to dig through with a couple days of driving.
The best thing about them is I don't feel like I'm taxing them under normal use. I drove around town for 30 minutes, pulled over, and I could rest my finger on the caliper, it was barely warm to the touch! Tells you something about how hard they have to work to stop the car. I remember how hot the stock ones were one time I touched them.
Still definitely 100% worth it. Looks badass too. C5 kit requires 17" wheels. For 16" wheels look at the LS1 kit. If you have 18" wheels he has some kits that make these C5s look like child's play, like the 6 piston C6 ZO6 and Caddy CTS-V!
I still have the factory disk/drum prop valve. Not sure what to say about that, everything seems to work fine and the rears don't lock up prematurely.
I got the parts from Ed Miller. Quality of the parts is top notch, however it took much longer than expected for him to get them out to me. Paid Feb 24th, just got everything this week.

I have an adjustable prop valve.

From where Travis? . ..or are you bs'n.
I was discussing adjustable prop valves with Bennie recently since both our brakes didn't tend to hold very well at the track. He has a nice little vacuum/brake setup to handle his now I think.
I've replaced the OEM calipers (including the PBR rears) within the past year and have decent pads/rotors, but I'm still not able to hold my rpms as high as I probably should.

its a wilwood, it was on my car yesterday. cool little nob lets you adjust front to rear bias.
