![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi
I own a 2008 c6 and have changed the brakes with the new c6zo6 brakes
My problem is that they have not improved my braking at all maybe a tiny bit nothing like the zo6.
I have changed the brake clippers Pads - Brake Discs rotators and line brake
Do I need to change other parts??

On the street, there isn't going to be much of a difference. Get stickier tires and better brake pads and you can push them a little harder. You still can't push them like other 6-piston calipers, like Brembos. The padlets have less surface area than even the stock C6 brake pads I believe...

The C6 brakes are already good enough where they are limited by the tires on the street. Sure, the Z06 brakes are an upgrade, however I would imagine you'll have the same limitation until you upgrade the rubber. Once you have the rubber to hold it, you could look to upgrade the pads.

What pads are you running?
And what tires? If something like Kumho Victoracer, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, Yokohama AD48s, Toyo R888s or better, than you need better pads than the stock Z06 pads.
I'd recommend running Carbotech XP12s in the front and XP10s in the rear with something like the tires mentioned above. If you're running slicks, do the XP16/12 combo.

Tire Spec:
Front Toto 888R
Rear Nitto NT05R
Stock Pads I did try the Hawk but everyone told me that they would ruin the discs
The problem with my break is that when I press the break its going right in
