BUMP.....just ordered my CTS-V kit sans stainless lines. Last piece of the puzzle before busting my cherry on Eagles Canyon Raceway.

Went with the factory color as the natural heat coloring has me intrigued.

Hawk HP Plus pads for the street and Pedders special (Carbotech) pads for the track is the plan.

Motul 600 for now then will go with Castrol SRF. Gonna bleed the old fashioned way and forgo the ABS Tech II.

Elected to stay with the tried and true CTS-V rotors

Really worried about brake fade at 160 + mph on the back 2000' straight going into the 90 deg turn 7! Hopefully wont be an issue for the 20 minute track session. I know the oil temps will be an issue after about 3 laps in the 100+ deg Texas heat, even with the big 16 row Earls oil cooler. Thats what the right foot is for.....right, no need to go 14 psi boost on every straight!

Time to re-read this entire thread!
