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.

Thanks bock, my hubs only have 40K and have basically been babied, so I'll probably just bolt them on.

Okay you guys have me sold, the LS1 spindles and calipers are on the way. Am I correct in my understanding that the rear brakes can basically be left stock, pads and all? Or since I have to order rotors and pads for the front (DTC-30?), should I get something comparable for the rear?

Again, thanks for all the help

Front and rear pad choices opens a whole new can-o-worms Dan. IMHO, For now, keep the stock pads in the rear until you get some experience on how your car is gonna handle.

If you get sucked into this like a lot of us, you may be buying wheels and tires before very long, and then you'll probably want to change pads again.

There are numerous threads on here about pads and bias front to rear. Also rear end "hop" if you get too much rear brake. Different fixes for different problems. Read up.

My opinion, do the fronts and play with that for a little while before moving to the rears.
