Default GP - Brake Pads - Low Dust, High Friction, Rotor Friendly

Group Purchase on Performance Friction Z-Rated® brake pads for C5, C6 (not C6Z) and Cadillac XLR-V.
MSI has used brake pads from several manufacturers over the past fourteen years and we feel strongly that these are the best Corvette “Street/Performance” pads available at any price.

PFC discontinued production of these pads for Corvettes some time ago, as a result of their popularity for use of this friction material with severe-duty applications (Ambulance, Police Car, Fire Trucks) and tow vehicles. It seems that they have limited production capability for this pad compound. Our commitment to offering you the best products for your Corvette forced our hand into having a special production run made just for us. For those of you that have used these pads in the past, you probably don’t want to use anything else, for those of you that haven’t, “try ‘em – you’ll like ‘em”. We can also offer AMSOIL and Motul brake fluid, SS Braided Brake Lines, PFC Rotors and Baer Rotors as well, for a complete brake package.

The Z-Rated® brake pads are high torque, low dust, with high performance stopping power coupled with low rotor wear. You just don’t find that with any pad. They are a quiet solution for your Corvette.

In this GP, MSI is offering the Front pads for $110/set. The rears for $105/set and $210 for both front and rear. That is way less money than Original GM pads with far less dust and higher friction. These Z-rated pads usually sell for $149 for the front and $145 for the rear.

Z-Rated pads are capable of dual use, from street, Auto-X and track day use. They can take a lot of punishment for a street pad.

We are limiting this GP to the first 10 sets, so get yours before they are gone.

That came up the last time I posted a GP for these pads.
Performance Friction said that they would make them for me if I order 50 sets and I got One guy that was willing to actually give me a credit card number to purchase one set.
If there are a bunch of you Z06 and Grand Sport Guys that are interested, a set of 20 padlets would go for $400 for front and rear. I would need 30 buyers to make that happen.

Email me your info and i'll start a list.

Thanks.

Of course there are the typical materials and workmanship, but I'm guessing that you are asking for something else. Are you not?

Just to clarify for me, they're no longer made but you can get special runs made when necessary? Or, this is it? If we buy them and like them that's nice but we can't get them again? Sorry for being dense. Thanks.
