Cobalt Friction makes them for me. They are XR1 compound front and XR2 compound rear for the ZL1 / CTS-V brakes. If you want to run them with SS Calipers the front is still XR1 but the rears are a bit less aggressive using XR3 compound. They cost a small fortune , but I consider them the best pads I have ever used. There are strictly a race / summer pad. There is no binder in them. If they get wet and are exposed to a hard freeze they will fall apart. They are filthy and squeal worse than a stuck pig. By turn two, your pads are close to full stopping power. In my experience I get two sets of rotors to one set of pads. A all out test session will wear out a set of rotors. Then again, an all out test session will wear out a set of tires

For once I want some company to use all this technology we have to make a pad with great stopping power AND is quiet. It can produce as much brake dust as it wants if I can get stopping power and quiet.

Most of us love a great exhaust. Some can tell what you have undr the hood just by the exhaust not. Am I the only guy that enjoys the sound of GREAT brakes

Ain't it the truth! I got these from a forum member (JesserayJames) and they look new. Had 100 miles on them and wasn't to his liking. Great deal and great to work with.
