When it comes to the C5 Corvette Cadillac Brembo swap, one of the biggest uncertainties currently is what wheels will clear the calipers. I'm going to attempt to document what worked and didn't work as best as I can here!

Known to work wheels:

This is just the start of the article where I'll be documenting all of the DIY cooling modifications I'm doing to the C5 Corvette. There's a lot of little details that all come together as part of the larger picture that is maximizing the cooling potential of the C5 Corvette.

So one of my more useful posts over in my C5 Corvette blog is the spring rates and sway bar sizes that all the various companies offer. It helps to see just who is offering what along with it helps communicate with folks about what sort of steering balance they are experiencing and what reccomendations could be made.

I've now run two sets of the Powerstop Trackday brake pads on my C5 Corvette with the Caddillac Brembos and feel I can safely review them. There were things I liked about the brake pads, and things that definitely weren't as good. I personally cannot recommend them, but perhaps some of the details that were redeeming about them will overshadow the cons I couldn't overlook.

So at this point I'm far from the only person using the Caddillac Brembos. I'm also starting to see folks share some pictures and info about it, and I wanted to capture what I could from folks here to both share others experiences, and to help validate that this is indeed a functional modification to the C5 Corvette.

Available Track Day Pads - Compared

So now having gone through two sets of the PowerStop brake pads and... I'm interested in seeing what else is available out there and how it compares. Currently, I'm only getting three track days to a set of front brake pads. That adds a good chunk of change to my track day costs. The powerstop also throws up a TON of brake dust.

So I've logged and blogged about every track day I do, the upgrades and modifications I made going into them, and the takeaways from each and every single one. There's some useful information in there for folks, along with just general writeups of how track days are goin for myself. I often refer back to all of these to see just when I changed rotors or brake pads or other such things.
