So I'm in a dilemma and need input, maybe I didn't do as much research as I should have before I decided I would convert to carbon ceramic brakes. If I didn't track the car like I do and plan to push it harder it would be a no brainier to keep them for all the benefits. But after more research with the brake pad transfer and coming across a 1le caliper that dust boots where cooked on along with the powder coating. I have got my brakes pretty hot but have not damaged the coating. After seeing that our oem calipers aren't made for heavy track use with aluminum pistons that transfer alot of heat into fluid vs stainless, the AP racing calipers are anodized so they will hold up to heat, have stainless steel pistons, no dust boots, and cost of maintenance will be far less with steel rotors vs Carbon rotors. If the carbon set up is going to wear out quick on the track which I hear it can if your really pushing the car but will last damn near the life of the vehicle if it's just a street car, then it will be a financially better decision to either upgrade to AP racing kit and stick with steel rotors. Z28 definitely has a larger caliper then the zl1, maybe use z28 calipers with steel rotors for replacement cost purposes?
Guys that track hard what's your calipers look like and what's your thoughts on all this?
