Default C7 Z51-which pads for track?

I have done a HPDE with my C7 using the stock Z51 brake pads--I would like to upgrade to a track oriented pad--looking for some input from those who have changed their pads and can advise me how those pads did on track? Anyone with on track experience I would love to hear from you--Thank You for your time.

Many of our customers use Ferodo DS1.11 for the track. It's an endurance racing compound that lasts a long time, has a nice feel, and easy on the discs.

Front DS1.11 for C7 Z51

Rear DS1.11 for C7 Z51


The aren't the cheapest pads out there, but in our experience they are one of the most durable, so you get your money's worth.

When you're looking for new track discs, please check out our AP Racing J Hook's as well. We have them front and rear for your car. .

Carbotech hands down. Best pad I've ever felt on a car.

Try Adam at Amp'd Autosport. He's a sponsor here. I recommend the pre-bed option.

I also say carbotech.

Make sure that your pads match your tires in terms of grip as well

No sense in having an aggressive pad that your tires cant keep up with.
