    LT1 Rear Pads

    Regardless of the sequence of events, I will be very low on rear pads for TWS. I'm not opposed to just throwing some OEM junk on if I have to.

    If you have some Carobtech compound you're willing to loan/sale/trade in a stock LT1 flavor, bring them with you to TWS.

    Otherwise I might not be able to slow down and since I don't qualify like Wirtz, I might be behind YOU.

    Dave,

    I have always ran cheap pads until this year. Carbotech convinced me I would like the a better pad more.

    I am going back to cheap pads next year... I see absolutely no improvement in braking once I got the bias set to compesate for the initial bigger bite from the expensive pads.

    A cheap set would still last me an entire season.

    I have used Performance Friction pads from autozone on the rear and like JP said get the bias set for them

    UPDATE: LiiR recommends rear pads and falls to the power of orange...

    Why didn't you tell me there was an "innie" and an "outie?" Calder and I were scratching our heads wondering why a Ford guy couldn't figure out how to change pads on a Camaro... just not that hard.

    And they seemed to work just fine.
