I run 1.11 all around in the 981 and I'm very happy with that pad. The balance is good and the modulation is fantastic. I get a year out of rotors on that car and roughly 5-6 days on the front pads.

I run a 3.12 on the front of the Corvette and a 1.11 in the rear and I'm happy with the balance in that car now. The Corvette always needed a touch less pad in the rear for me or I'd get some lockup in the rear.

The 3.12 is a great pad and it lasts longer with comparable rotor life in the C7 to the 1.11. The 1.11 was a bit better in modulation (preference), but with the extra speed, heat, and weight of the C7, the 3.12 is necessary. The 3.12 is still easy to modulate, but it feels different at full tilt and I had to get used to the pedal pressure change at the start of releasing the brakes. The lighter pedal modulation closer to apex is very similar between the two.
