CTS-V Upgrade
I'm thinking of getting the CTS-V upgrade this year and I've got some questions.
1. How easy are the 6-piston pads to change out? 2. What pad set up is good for Auto-X? 3. What pad set up is good for Track? Thanks

The CTS-V setup is the same as the ZL1's and
1. Front pads are pulled out from the top of caliper after the 2 pins, center bolt, and spring is removed, easy just like the SS rear Brembo. 2. OEM 3. OEM

So the OEM pads hold up to track heat? But then again, I suppose that the 6-piston setup will generate way heat than the SS Brembos.

For Autocross OEM pads would work great. For road course track work I would highly recommend getting a set of track pads like Hawk DRC70's, Raybestos ST-47, or I know there are Carbotech's that a lot of people like too.
I did a track weekend with 6-piston fronts and OEM pads at Road America last year and although I never had any major braking issues ( as in no brakes left ) I did experience the beginning of pad fade and they also started "smearing" on the rotor which started producing pedal vibrations when braking. This was on a cool weekend (40-50's for high temps) and I have the Z/28 brake ducts installed as well. I then tried Hawk DTC70's for my next track event and was very impressed by the additional braking bite with the track pads and I did not experience pad fade with them. Also braking stayed smooth and had no vibrations afterwards. So I would highly recommend a set of track pads for big track stuff and for Autocross the OEM pads will work great.
