Ccm brake pads ??
So I got a zl1 and figured get more info here. I got some 390mm carbon ceramic rotors from an Alfa Romeo which with my hat fits the car on the front. So now need to find some pads. I drag race more so I’m not going to be abusing these rotors. I did it for the look and more so weight 13 lbs vrs 32 lbs each. I hate race brakes as I do actually drive my car.
what is everyone using for pads now? I saw some carbotech brand 302 for c6 zr1 pads I guess they work on these common calipers. Is there anything cheaper? eBay has some but same deal 300s and not sure I trust eBay brands. So looking for some help and advice. Not wanting to spend a fortune on pads that won’t see any abuse. So pointless to go after the best pad.
thanks

Just so others know 123 dollar z28 pads that are brembo work like a champ. Found the part numbers from a cross reference off brembo site then shopped the pads. I left all my hardware my car has 10k miles on it as I mostly only drag race. Stops as well as the iron rotor even dead cold so can’t complain at all. I did this to go faster that’s it. I do at times throw my stock wheels on the car and run the mountain roads around here like the dragon and see no issues arising from this swap. I run a smaller rear disk so can fit a 15 on the back it’s a stock Cadillac cts v sport brake disk and wildwood caliper so the rears all ready suffer some from being smaller. These rotors and pads actually seemed to have helped that condition with the smaller rotor on the rear. I’ll take my skinny’s off the front at some point and with stock tires on it push it some and see how it does.
