[QUOTE="Bucketoy, post: 284241, member: 5633"] I would consider yourself fortunate it was just the ABS malfunctioning. These cars have an advanced brake fade detection system that are calibrated with GM brake parts. When I was at Spring Mountain, they went into detail on how this system works and explained why they use GM only brake parts. I think you're just asking for trouble using aftermarket parts here. I knew I would have dusty brake pads when I ordered the Z51 package and have accepted, and will deal with those associated issues. When I'm on the track its comforting to know I have that extra layer of protection.
