Just about time to replace my brake pads and rotors.  Starting to do some research and have a couple questions.  First, are the C5 ZO6 brakes the same as a standard C5?  I believe the answer is yes, please confirm.  Also, what pad material are the brake pads from the factory?
 
Any recommendations on pad and rotor replacements.  My Z06 is not a daily driver.  I put a few miles on it a month, but do a couple track days per year so I want something less than race but more than street.  Was thinking HAWK HPS.  Anyone have experience with those on a Vette? 
 
As far as rotors, thoughts on standard vs slotted vs drilled?  I''m leaning toward just going OEM, I''m not sure I buy all the "allows degassing of pads" and "helps cooling" stories.
