Hawk says these are for light-medium weight cars. Do you think these be appropriate for a C5 Z06 (about 100 lbs more than a Cayman)? It has a stock system right now (new factory rotors aren't slotted or drilled), but it has SS braided lines. I need to drive my car to the track, but don't plan to drive the C5Z on the street all that much. Thanks!

I would run a DTC-60. I'd expect much better results. The C5 is underbraked so the ER-1's may be overwhelmed

@@knsbrakes608 Thanks, I'll give them a shot.

With extra caution, do you think the car can be driven to track with these pads on? Not daily but just to drive back and forth to the track.

[@kennethkozlowski5100]

You can certainly go to the track and back on a race pad. Cold wear from race pads is higher than regualr pads but not instant. Even a few days of regualr driving should not be a huge issue.

How does it compare to the dtc 60 or 70s?

[@knsbrakes608]

The friction level is just below that of the DTC-60 compound.
