Brakes for on the Track
Hello, does anyone have any recommendation for brakes for if I wanted to track my Z06? I'm a little at a loss for knowing the differences between the different brands and the dealer hasn't been helpful on this topic either. I plan on switching the brakes out just for when I'm on the track and going back to the regular dustless ceramic pads I have for when I'm not on the track. Powersport? Brembo? I'd appreciate any help on what you've found. Thanks!

I run CarboTech XP10s (front) and XP8s (rear) for track day use on my C7 and also used them on my C6. I run on MPSS tires and I'm a mediocre track driver, so they're more than good enough for my use. They're a little bit too noisy and dusty for my daily use, but that's just my preference.

Don't forget to change the brake fluid to a hi temp brand. I expect Adam@amp'dautosport.com to respond to your thread as he offers some great choices. There is quite a lot of info on this subject if your use the search option.

Recommend the ferodo brake pads ds 1.11 or ds uno or even the ds 3.12.
They make the stock pads and make swapping to more agressive much easier than a whole reburnishing process for changing to different pads. The 3.12 are rated to handle 12 to 14 hours of track time.

I would recommend using the Carbotech XP10 front pads with the XP8 rear pads This is proven track set up that works very well with street tires and can be safley driven on the street to and from the track some people leave them on but you will have some noise on the street.
