[Shotimes] Track Pads for the Cobra/PBR Calipers

[Ian Fisher]

The Z07 optioned C4 vettes as well as the ZR1 had the PBR calipers.
Current Z06 C5 models also have PBR calipers (and after looking at
pictures of the 50th anniversary C5, I believe that it may also has
PBR's). Grandsport LT4 engineed C4's may also have had the PBR's but
that's just speculation on my part. I believe that the calipers are all
the same wrt pad dimensions between all types of PBR calipers, so ...I
forget what the point of this post was..If you are looking for pads for
said calipers (vette), they should probably work in the Cobra
application anyway. HOWEVER..Most hipo brake catalogs show offerings by
caliper brand as well; you may not have to go searching for cobra or
corvette etc. I think that my Porterfield book has application listings
for PBR/Baer seperately (as well as by make).

I am pretty sure the PFCM pads for the 96 Vette or Cobra work fine
(maybe both). There are a few cars that come with this caliper from the
factory, so I am sure there are a few pads available.  I also looked
into that Green/Red/Yellow stuff kevlar pads.  not too bad of a price,
and I have heard great things about improved performance on otherwise
stock systems for a number of cars.

Any recommendations on track pads for the PBR Calipers? I have the
calipers that came loaded in them, but they are not up to the task.

I read about the Carbotech Panther and Panther +. I also read about the
Hawk HP Plus Race pads. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Also, I don't find a PBR fitment for Performance Friction Carbon Metalic
pads. Am I missing something here?

Any input appreciated........

Kurt
