I have a Camaro SS 1LE (~3800 lbs w/me) and I basically run Hawk 60's on the street and track ( I don't drive on the street much). I also used Carbotech XP12's before. I don't get any brake fade with either one.
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
I'm a big fan of the GY SC3R for HPDE. The grip is so impressive once you get some heat into them.
A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.
I just bought the Tricos from Rock Auto. Fit perfectly. Snap. Done.
EDIT: so after fixing grounds and other wiring, the VR was still giving the same results. Switched to a solid state VR and right away everything worked normally. It would seem that the 2 "new" Delco Remy VR's I ordered both were bad or poorly made right out of the box. Everything is working normally now!
Ran the 660’s this weekend. Like the feel and the grip on my Camaro. They did well with a heavy car.
Ran the 660s for the 1st time today on my CAM SS 1LE. Small, tight course, but they felt great.
My ultimate solution was to run some OEM GM HP tall valve covers with the factory baffle. The factory used a layered baffle design that is very effective for normal street use. Can't cut it with high G's and rev's associated with Autocross and Track Days though.
Powerstop ceramic. When I got my 2016 2SS I couldn't stand the brembo pads. Horrible dusting.
