What would you recommend for C7 Z51 getting 50 laps in each track day, and will get about 10 track days in next year at least.
Right now I'm running all stock components, rotors/pads and while they do work well, by the end of the session that pedal gets soft and a lot of feedback is felt.

We would definitely recommend a brake pad upgrade. Shoot us a PM with those questions answered and we will get you some different options.

What options are out there for C6 Z51 rear rotors? They're a slightly larger diameter (13" vs 12") than the C5 / base C6 rear rotor. I'm running the KNS 4K now but think that swapping to the Z51 brackets to fit the 13" rotor would be an easy swap to add a little more rear brake torque.

In the interim - we'd suggest a Centric Premium blank rotor which we can source for you if you are interested.

Thanks Ken. If the pricing is anything similar to the C5 ones I'll upgrade to them when they come out. For the owners I'll see how long the C5 ones work in back with the 14" kit that's going on the front.
