C5z06 Track pads
Hello Everyone , I just bought a 2003 C5z06 which has cams and head work done to it. My intention of this purchase is to primarily road race the car. I had a Gt3 and 996tt before, the brake choice was quite easy Pagid Yellow and SRF.
I need help in slecting the brake pads, ducts lines etc.
For strictly DE Car and very minimal street use , whats the best brake pad out there that works with stock rotors?
The car has Nitto 555 rii
Autobahn and Road America are few tracks i plan on going.
Thanks in advance.

Gt3 is great on track, but i did not want to risk a 140 k car on track. So after a lot of research i found c5z as the best track car for money. Power to weight is superior to gt3 , on track handling i will know soon.
So far i am loving the zo6. My first american car.

Where did you get the 01s from? I run these on my BMW. Great pad.
I'm suprised Performance Friction doesn't make the 06 compound for the Vette. Or do they?
I ran the Carbotech 12f/10r at the last event and didn't like them all that much.
