C6 Base with mag ride what brake pads
Hello,
I’m confused as to which brake pads should I buy for a C6 Base with the mag ride/drilled rotors.
Are they the same as base? Grand Sport?
Thanks in advance.

The C6 base and Z51 take the same pad shape. The pad material is different but if your not tracking I would take a look at the Carbotech 1521 pads

He does have the F55 (mag ride) option that includes the J55 brakes, aka Heavy Duty Brakes. So the correct answer to his question should be "You have J55 brakes". They were available as part of the Z51 option from '05-'09 and as part of the F55 option from '07-'13 and as a stand-alone option from '05-'13 called the Heavy Duty Brake option.
BTW, there was no J54 option or J54 brakes. The standard base brakes were coded JL9.
J55 brakes all included drilled rotors and semi-metallic pads from the factory, while the JL9 brakes had plain rotors and ceramic pads. Of course, many owners changed pads and rotors to non stock items, so checking the code list on the glovebox lid only tells how the car was equipped when it left the factory.
