Advantage of carbotech is compounds are compatible with each other. While the street/auto cross "bobcat" 1521 compound may be marginal for track duty, if you find you need more pad for track you can switch to carbotech xp12/10 combo for front/rear without worrying about a rotor swap at the same time and switch back for street.

The 1521's are very low dust. No dedicated track compound will be low dust.

All compounds are non-corrosive and very easy on the wheels. Even when I neglected to clean for many months it was no issue when I did finally clean.

Note my experiences are on my C6Z06 with polished aluminum OEM wheels. I also use Castrol SRF brake fluid exclusively.

I haven't put carbotech on my '91 ZR-1 yet but will at next brake change.
