Track Brake Pad Opions
Greetings fellow weekend track day enthusiasts!
Curious what serious track guys are using for their pads. My C8 has been great on track but am having some issues with pad material transfer and associated vibration from the stock pads. Looking at Carbotech but am interested in which variation people are using front/rear.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the info!
Carbotech guys that changed to cobalts reported no further issues. Those that switched to girodiscs also reported it helping. I'd say the issue is heat and both rotors and pads can help with it
