Suggestion on C7 Z51 brake pad for HPDE events
Quick question for everyone, I have a new 2016 C7 Z51 that I'll be tracking, stock power only mods are DOT4 fluid and Nitto NT01 275/35/18 front & 305/30/19 rear.
I am coming from a 2013 ZL1 that I tracked frequently and I ran HAWK DTC 70 front and DTC 60 rear on. It was a good pad but I do not like the corrosive behavior of the pad. I was thinking of trying out Carbotech XP12 front & XP10 rear.
I am open to suggestions as my personal experience with track pads if very limited.

Yes I thought the HAWK DTC 70/60 combo was great, especially initial bite. I'd go with that pad again, but like I said I'm not a fan of the corrosive brake dust from the HAWK pads. I wasn't sure if the XP20 would be too aggressive on stock rotors?
