Can anyone recommend me brake pads better than OEMs for track day at the end of month. I ordered dtc 70 but it’s nationwide back order even though hawk said there was many in stock. My zl1 is not 1le btw

I believe EBC makes a blue stuff equivalent to DTC 70's. It's been a while since I looked into pads but at the end of it all I wound up landing right back on the OEM Ferodo DS pads. Of course I'm not tracking mine either so what I need is different than what you need.

I have Ferodo 1.11 and love them. Great bite, street friendly, easy on rotors, and don't fade.

Respectfully....... I would run the OEM pads and change the brake fluid to Castrol SRF. Unless you're at the bleeding end of the fast group, I doubt you'll get them to misbehave on any track with less than 5 hard braking zones per lap during a 15-20min session.

Otherwise, either the Ferodo or EBC will do as previously suggested. Ferodo pads are known for a more progressive bite. While EBC are known for strong initial bite.

Agree with the above. Also, the OEM pads are Ferodo, so if you like the feel of those, you'll love the DSUNO or DS 1.11
