If you’re shopping for Corvette brake pads, it’s easy to get overwhelmed in a hurry. Between the Corvette forums, manufacturer websites and your buddy’s opinions, everyone has an opinion on what brake pads are best for your C6. That’s not to say there’s not good advice on what works and what doesn’t out there, but for every positive brake pad review you’ll find another saying the same brake pad sucks.

We try not to get in the middle of the Corvette brake pad wars. Instead, Vette Lab has a few select lines of brake pads that we’ve used on our cars and our customers’ cars, and we know they work well. A perfect example is our selection of StopTech Sport brake pads. Manufactured by Centric, a global brake parts expert, StopTech brakes are a premium line designed for high-end performance cars like the Corvette C6. These StopTech Sport brake pads are engineered to have good street manners but offer fade resistance and excellent performance during track days and autocross events. These aren’t full race brake pads designed for constant, repeated lapping, but StopTech Sport brake pads also don’t create tons of dust, require heat before they start to work and squeal like the three little pigs every time you come to a red light. You don’t want badly behaved brake pads 95 percent of the time for your 5 percent of track fun, and StopTech Sports are a perfect dual purpose Corvette brake pad. Are you an even more conservative driver? If you skip the track altogether and prefer cruising in your Corvette, StopTech Street brake pads might be a better choice, placing low dust and low noise at the top of the feature list. We have StopTech Street brake pads for your C6 Corvette too. 

Whichever Corvette brake pads you opt for, you can always expect quick shipping and Vette Lab’s outstanding customer service. And if you need a Corvette brake job in metro Detroit,  make an appointment with our shop in Clawson, Michigan. We can install those new front or rear brake pads, perform a full brake service or boost the horsepower on your Corvette C5, C6 or C7, so drop us a line and let us know what you need!
