Just wondering with this harder pad that creates no brake dust how much of your rotor is being worn down. Something has to wear down when applying the brake. If it is not the pad then must be the rotor and pad.

No dust, no wear, no worries!

Just because there's friction doesn't mean there is wear.

I've put 70+k miles on two big heavy 4200+lb Genesis v8 sedans with factory ceramic pads... never had any dust, pad wear, or rotor wear issues on either.

There is brake dust it's just dramatically reduced, rotors will be fine. The trade off is stopping power. If you're not tracking the car you most likely won't notice. Best mod I've done so far, brake dust gets old quick...

Z26-1835/1053 are still the "proper" pads? Powerstop on shows 1053 for the rears and nothing for the front.

Yep just installed a set yesterday on my 18 ZL1 and they fit perfect. Had a set on my C7, and my SS 1LE and liked them as well.
