My seals looked perfect front and rear with both braking systems, and I am aggressive on braking in a good way on track.
For 2019, playing with something different up front. Hint - they weigh a bit over 19# less per rotor than ZL1 rotors, work with the stock J6H calipers, use a (different) stock GM pads, and use J6H hats that I tweaked a little. Plus, a little bit of aero stuff on my SS 1LE, too. A let you know how I like it all later...
Oh, I know all about the CCB’s are good / not good for the track. I just like to try things and tweak. Got a new set of J6H rotors on the shelf and plenty of stock and low mile pads, so, in no time I can be back with steel fronts. Once again, it’s the engineer in me and the constant mods I’ve always done to cars. Plus, a vendor told me only their hats work and you can’t get anything else to work and have to buy it all from them. Uh, wrong...
I can create another thread about this science experiment to not derail the stock / track pad good discussion ongoing...

Carbon Ceramics, G3Rs, and full ZLE Aero on an SS 1LE???? Yea..... we're gonna need a thread dedicated to that lol other than the CCBs that's pretty much the build I want (but can't afford).
