Default C5Z06 pads questions

Hi,

I have some question related to the OEM C5Z06 pads.

What is the current partnumber for the OEM Z06 pads f+r? I found 19181427 for the fronts (correct?), but no p/n for the rear.

Are all Z06 pads the same from 2001-2004 or where there differences?

Is it only the front pads that are Z06 specific?

How thick are new front and rear pads incl the backin plate when new? Does 14,6 mm and 16,3 mm sound right?

Anybody know the friction coeff of stock Z06 pads or what compound that is used? I'd like to know to be able to compare with other "performance" pads.

Thanks.

My advice, get HAWK HPS pads, you won't be sorry. Less dust and more stop.

Maybe ask this in C5Z section?

I have read here that OEM C5Z pads and Hawk HPS pads are very comparable in braking performance. HPS have the edge in a lesser amount of less corrosive dust.

I have a set of 75 mile scrubbed(basically new)OEM C5Z F/R pads out in my shop. I can measure their thickness if need be. No idea on friction coef, but suspect it is very similar to HPS.

And a good place to get them is from Gene at gmpartshouse.com.

BTW, on Gene's web site, the rear pads are listed as 12530688.

I'm not interested in the HAWK pads, hence the OEM pads questions.

I'll try the Z06 section as well. Since there is a bunch of different OEM and/or ACDelco part numbers available, if anybody know the correct numbers for the OEM C5Z06 pads that would be great.

Thanks, are both the front and rear Z06 specific pads? Is installation hardware included in those kits?

The Z06 does not have specific rear brake pads. Hardware for the pads is included.
