I am like most ZR1 owners and when it comes to brakes, to be very cautious . I also use Porterfield Brakes because they are
one of the few Brake Companies that carry pads for my Cadillac CT6-V which I just installed last summer. (RS-4)
I did go to your web site and you show application for a for a CTS-V but none for a CT6-V
I do have question is your CarboTech 1521 for ceramic ? if not I assume it would require a conversion kit to Iron ?
And to stay with OEM on ZR1 would have to use your Race Pads (Pagid RSC1, 2, 3 ) and can these pads be used
for street ?
I am no brake expert but after paying $ 100K plus for a vehicle why would I want to convert from Ceramic to Iron Brakes ?
to me its a down grade !
Just my $.02 cents

I did an interview with Jordan Lee (GM's Chief of Small Block Engines) back in Oct and he lamented the end of the LTA.
It always amazes me that GM spent all that money developing the LTA/10L90 engine/trans combo as well as the chassis that's under that car, and then...killed it.
I own an ATS-V so I well-understand how well the original V-series cars and what's known known as the V Black Wings perform. If I had need for a big, four-door sedan, I'd go looking for a CT6-V.
That car was not the first time GM tried a full-sized, four-door, performance car. The 94-96 Impala SS went that route, too, but...I digress. Let's get back to brakes.
