Hello everyone,

Just thought I would introduce myself. I've been lurking here off and on for years, every time I got tempted to buy my fathers Z28. He ended up making me an offer I couldn't refuse so as of this weekend I'm now the proud owner of a black '93 Z28 with 40k on the odometer. It's basically stock with the exception of a Moroso CAI and Hurst shifter.

The current plan is to catch up on the maintenance and take it to a track day August 31st (Bertil Roos - Performance Driving Clinic up at Pocono). I'd love to hear anyone experiences with Roos? Did a search and didn't find much. I'm planning to flush the brake fluid and do other maintenance items people have suggested here in past pre- track postings but I'm waffling on the brake pads. I read the suggestions, I've had Hawk pads on a street car in the past and the brake squeal drove me nuts. Any chance the stock pads will suffice for the first track outing? or am I dreaming? Other suspension and engine mods will have to wait until I finish other projects.

My setup is basically a re-built stock LS1 setup with some minor enhancements. C5 calipers and LS1 f-body calipers are (basically, bear with me guys) dimensionally the same.

If you mount a C5/LS1 f-body caliper to a LS1 spindle, you use 12" rotors, and are OK with 16" wheels.
If you mount a C5/LS1 f-body caliper to a LS1 spindle AND use the trackbrackets, you use 13" rotors, and are OK with 17" wheels.

I can't speak to mounting the LS1/C5 stuff on a LT1 spindle... IIRC you just cut some kind of ear off the spindle?

I would think the C5 caliper's smaller piston with the larger (for a LT1 guy) 12" rotor would keep a good brake bias though?
