Thanks for suggesting ceramic coating…didn’t know why I didn’t think about that from the beginning. Also, as much as I like the OEM brake system on the 4BW, I’m leaning towards getting the GiroDisc 2 for rotors and the Ferodo DS2500 for pads. Worth giving it a shot just to see how it compares...

I’m leaning towards the DS2500 since you’ve previously mentioned that it’s a great pad for both street and track use. As Super Saloon mentioned above, I’ll just ceramic coat my wheels so the brake dust comes off easier. That’ll solve worries with brake dust.

I’m sure you can make use of the Cup 2 RS driving around the canyons. But if you’re doing some street driving on your 3LZ, I’d switch out the tires since the Cup 2 RS will wear very quickly since they’re meant for the track. I’d say use the Pilot Sport 4S for everyday driving and save the Cup 2...

Gotcha. I wonder how much different it compares to the OEM rotors on the 4BW.

Thanks for your insights. I don’t do too much tracking, but do so occasionally. Do you think the DS2500 are good for aggressive street driving with light track use? How’s the brake dust compare to the OEM pads on the 4BW?

Wow! That’s a very nice setup you got there. Given the setup are both on all front and back wheels, that’s half the cost of a BRZ. How do you like the CUP 2 Rs?

Was wondering what everyone’s opinion is on the GiroDisc 2 rotors? Anyone have them or know about them? Is it significantly better or worse than the stock rotors on the 4BW?

Thanks for sharing. Nice to hear that you also have great experience with the Ferodo DS2500 as a track pad. If it has less brake dust than the OEM ones, then I might just get the Ferodo DS2500. As I mentioned earlier, now I’m stuck between getting the Carbotech 1521s or the Ferodo DS2500.

Thanks for sharing. Wow! 80% less brake dust…that’s a big difference. Now I’m debating on whether I should get the Ferodo DS2500 (for street and track use) or the Carbotech 1521 (for significantly less brake dust). Have you or anyone else used the Carbotech 1521 on the track?

Thanks for sharing. I like how you mentioned that the Ferodo DS2500 is good for both street driving and is fair for the track, as that’s what I’m going for. Now, I wonder if it has less or more brake dust than the OEM ones?

Thanks for sharing. So given that you said the ceramics you have on your C8 Z06 don’t have good initial bite since it has to be heated to optimal temperature, which can be achieved when tracking the car. But I wonder if there’s a way to get it to minimum temperature during street use?

Out of curiosity - Given that the Corvette and BW are different cars and that your BW still has iron brakes, how would you compare the braking system of each? Or hypothetically and to keep it a level playing field, if your BW had ceramics, how would it compare to your Corvette with ceramics?

Did you end up switching back to iron brakes?

Wow, that’s impressive then. I agree, the OE ones are great all around brakes. Just don’t like the brake dust. Hats off to Cadillac for developing great OE brakes, especially the CCB as an option on the 5BW. Wonder if the Ferodo DS2500 are any better than the OE ones in terms of brake dust...

Gotcha. Thanks for your insights. What would you recommend for aggressive street driving and occasional light track use?
