AP RACING front brakes and stock Z1 rear brakes with DTC-60 brake pads.
The best street tires are Michelin Sport 4S 305 30 19 on ALL four corners on APEX SM-10 19 x 10.5 ET22 wheels. The BEST track tires I have found are Michelin Slicks N3 compound 30 65 18 on APEX EC-7 18 x 11 ET25 wheels. The square set up especially on the street tires allows me to get between 15-20K miles of wear because I can rotate front to back. The Square setup results in BETTER handling because it makes the handling much more NEUTRAL which helps ALOT in weight transfer thru the corners on a road course.
I get ABOUT 10MPG with I run E85 and 14MPG on 93. I pull a tire trailer behind me with slicks when I go to the track. When I am crusing with the tire trailer around 75MPG, I get 14 MPG.
I have an INTENSIVE build thread with 340 posts on this car where I have documented the mods here:

This was very helpful, thanks. I was wondering how the handling will change when all 4's are the same tire size. Someone mentioned to me the NITTO NT555's ? But I believe their tire size isn't compatible with the camaro LE's. It's nice that there is a set up that can prolong the tire life. Another 3-4k, and I'm already looking to replace the F1's.
If you don't mind me asking, why the discrepancy between the front and back brakes?
Keeping this car out of the track, for now, lol.
