Hey Matt,

I use the "H's" on the rear. That's probably a little too much pad back there, but it works well and they wear forever.

No kidding? I got a set of H's for the rear and they have way to much bite. I went back to the stockers in the rear and the car handles much better under braking with them.

Default Wilwood H Pads

Hey Matt, where have you been buying your Wilwood H's from? I think I'm going to try the H's at our next event. These Carbotech XP12's have been wearing way to fast on this Z06. Let me know. Thanks

I think I got them at PFYC.com, if you feel like shopping around I think there are several forum vendors that sell them.

Where I noticed their excess rear braking force is going into T1 at VIR. The car is a tad *** happy when the brakes are really clamped there, but once I got used to it, it was kind of fun.

There HAS to be a joke involving pit babes in that statement somewhere, I just can't find it!

Same with my car in the braking zone for T1 at VIR and Summit, it's worse at Summit.

I was describing the braking sensation to one of the pitbabes when I got back to the paddock the other day. I told her "the rear end get real light and quivers a little bit." She couldn't quite grasp what it felt like, so I said, "It's kind of like when a covey of quail fly outta your ***."

"Ahhh" she said, "I understand completely now! That happens to me all the time!"

If you are looking for H pads send me a PM and I will get you a price.

BTW - I run H pads front and rear.
