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.

i just ordered a set of ds1.11 for the 981

the last shipment is stuck in customs so i don't know when i will get them, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week

they don't make the ds3.12 for the 981 yet

ken at https://knsbrakes.com runs a vette also, and shared a similar story

yes, i am plugging KNS brakes
