Brake Pad Replacement
What are you guys doing for brake pad replacements? I do plan to track my car this year and plan to replace my pads and flush the brake fluid to a better Dot 4. The OEM replacements are pretty expensive it seems. Just curious on what options are out there and/or best vendor to purchase from.

I went to Adams's web site and when I selected brake pads there's not even a listing for C7 ZR1s.
Adam posts everywhere on the CF. He may not know that his business doesn't stock pads for carbon brakes on '19 ZR1s.
The site does make reference to Adam's ability to custom make pads for any car so...Adam...how much to make a set of track pads for my '19 ZR1?

Carbotech 1521 for street.
Front $302
Rear $206
The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Adam, what is the best recommendation for slight track use and street for our CCB rotors? I'm running the sport cup 2 tires for track days and AS/3s for street driving right now. I'm in Columbus and will typically do 3 weekend events at Mid Ohio or 4 to 6 track day DE events.

A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1250°F+ (93°C to 676°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.
