Who's making the move to STU?

Not selling the car anymore since the C6Z I was going to buy didn't come through. I will be throwing some more money at parts this winter. Just picked up a 25 row oil cooler.

Looking at Z1 2pc rotors, motor mounts, and intakes.

What is everyone using for brake pads? I was reading that some people prefer the OEM pads.

I've heard some good things about the Carbotech's

I'm actually in the same dilemma, not sure what to get. The folks at Z1 are pretty helpful though, if you call and ask. Are you doing 2 piece all around? or just fronts?

I have run both YellowStuff and Carbotech X10, X8 combo for both street and track. Both will dust. The Carbotech's will dust more the the YellowStuff.

Hows the stopping power and life length between the two?

The YellowStuff's is head and shoulders above stock. The Carbotech's are above the YellowStuff's. The YellowStuff's lasted for about 18 trackdays, and about 18,000 miles. I'm still on the Carbotech's. They will sequel at low speeds. Like coming up to a stop sigh or red light. I also run Racing Brake 2 piece rotors. They are a different grade of cast iron then the Z1's and stock.

Most likely all around. I will probably use the stock pads and see how it goes.
