I'm finally ready to put my CMC camaro on the track just need a few things.
Can anyone recommend brake pads. I have C5 brake kit and don't use ABS.
Car is about 3200lbs and mostly will run on VIR which is a high speed track with heavy braking.
Thanks in advance Leebo

Carbotech w/out a doubt.
Run the XP10's up front and the XP8's out back.
I run OEM brakes in CMC and I don't have cooling ducts. I eat guys up under braking. Even those running Stop Tech's.

I still don't know how you get away with no cooling ducts.

Simple - Piss off as many people as you can on the National CMC site. Carbotech will build you a special set of pads based on those numbers.
