Remind me please about R rotor/pad sizing? Are these the same as a regular SS? Thx!
PS a "day" based on my logging of consumables life span is 2hrs: 4x30mins stints each normally with 1 outlap and 1 cool down lap. Albeit at some events we run 7 sessions per day, or just open track.
Pad and disc sizes are same with CADILLAC: 09-14 CTS-V // CHEVROLET: 12-14 Camaro ZL1 Supercharged, 14-16 Corvette Z06 (taken from Porterfield's website)

I ran Carbotech xp 10 & 12
With 10 I got fade after 10 minutes.

12 felt great, no fade at all, however they completely died after 2 days at the track. Unacceptable !

yikes, mine lasted 3 events but on a much lighter car (BRZ). They're not that cheap also :/

Everybody is raving about G Loc these days (same compound as carbotech) and "hating" on Hawk... I have yet to use either on anything but a Miata so I can't really comment. ha.

I just ran G-Locs yesterday at Big Willow (Willow Springs raceway) Best lap of a 1.35.11 I do not know where Randy P is pick up 7 seconds but I guess thats why I have a 9-5 and races cars for a living


Brakes did great, car felt stable under braking. Zero fade with Motul 600. The initial bite was perfect for me, they are very communicative and easy to modulate. I say they are matched perfectly to the OEM SC-G3 tires as I was able to get into ABS only once when I over cooked turn one outside of that they were great. I took some before measurements, when I get them out of the car this week I will take another measurement which should give me a some rough indication on how long they will last.

As promised, I took a picture showing how the front brake pads and rotors look like after 5 event (4 full event) As you can see still good amount of pad life. Hairline cracks became more apparent but they should be good for another 2-3 days at least

I got a couple more events coming up (Sunday at the Ridge and next Friday at the ORP) so I will report back
