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
At this point I've got through several sets of pads over 18+ track days with the Cadillac Bremos. Here's everything I'm aware of that is available for these brakes and my thoughts on what is available along with endorsements from what I like.

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.

So I'm just dumb enough to think that i can sometimes do stuff myself either better or for cheaper. I also just sometimes enjoy the process enough to want to do it myself even knowing I'll get worse results than if I just paid somebody with more experience to do it for me. Still, call me a gambler but I want to try it for myself.
