Did you break them in properly, meaning several times of hard breaking ( not locking them thought ) which heats them up. Then I have always been fine( but I am no expert).

What model corvette do you have? **Important**
Is the car going to be tracked at all or just strictly street driven?
What brand and what kind of material are the pads?
These questions can help with the answers you get or maybe point you in the right direction.
