Somebody tracked my car before and the passenger side caliper boots were melted from pad sparks catching them on fire.

I found it cheaper to buy C5 replacement parts rather than the J55 stuff (previous owner had collected a bunch of the needed parts to convert it) so I went that route. Don't know if it would hold up under track use, but the pad, caliper and rotor thickness/thermal mass is much greater than stock.
