my brake/wheel combo
How much of an improvment over the stock oem brakes /wheels will I notice at the track. I just bought the car and never drove a Z06 with stock brakes to compare. I have Fikse 18x9.5/265-35-18, 18x11/295-35-18 PS2's. I know a softer tire would help. Brakes are pro matrix wilwood vented rotors front and back with SSBC tri power brake calipers up front and stock calipers out back. The brake fluid has been changed to ATE super blue and the front brake lines are replaced with stainless hard lines.Pads are whatever SSBC come with. This would be my first time at a roadracing track

Find out the pad compound in use before you do any track event.
Wilwood "ProMatrix" is just a buzz word for marketing. The compound will be based upon both the rotor package they offer and the pads used. Don't assume the pads in the SSBC are from them- if your former buyer has the ProMatrix set up then he most likely got the package of pads, rotors, and hoses.

A few questions. Been trying to do some research on rotors. Mine are not drilled,only slotted with the black anodized hats. Do the hats help the rotor hold up under hard use ? I heard that the drilled ones are mainley for looks/bling affect is that correct? Can you tell what pads you have by a visual look at them?
