That's a great plan! If you ever get through the HP Plus set, you may want to try the Hawk DTC-30. It's technically a race pad, but works very well cold. They are even noisier than the HP Plus, but they stop like few pads can. I've almost shattered windows when testing them in my daily driver. But you'll be wiping snot off of the windshield when you stand on the whoa pedal, for sure!!

Don't forget to get some good high temp brake fluid.

Do not mix fluid types though. Even if you drain your stock fluid reservoir and the lines there is residual fluid that if mixed with the wrong DOT rating will create goo in your brake system and it is a PIA to get cleaned out. Read what comes stock in your car and then what other DOT ratings are compatible and choose wisely.

GM recommends DOT3 fluid and this type doesnt mix with DOT4 or 5.

With changing the brake fluid, isn't that just a matter of flushing the system completely? When my friend changed his brake fluid, he flushed all the old stuff and a half liter of the new fluid to ensure there was no residual fluid.

Unless he used a TECH II tool to cycle the ABS pump there is residual fluid. Using the 2010 Corvette program and following the sequence that shows on the TECH II cycles the ABS pump so a fluid change can be made. As long as you are using a compatible brake fluid this is not necessary. If you are upgrading fluid the extra step is important.

I think that this is a GM scanner.

Right, it's the old GM scan tool. Now replaced by the MDI. They are available all over, but a subscription to get all the GM goodies and latest coding is required. You're looking at several thousand dollars in total, or go to a shop that already has one (we do!).
