You all might want to read a Corvette Forum lifetime members comments on these pads before you pull the trigger.

I'm using racingbrake.com pads for street and Cobalt Friction for track. Racing Brake produces no noticeable dust and better performance over OEM. I'm very happy with them.

Read a few negative comments. I think it's like that with everything. At the end of the day it's 126.00 and some of my time. I bet that guy on Corvette Forum didn't bed them in properly. Lots of guys on here say they are fine. That's good enough for me. And I repeat, it's a 126.00 gamble.

That thread is a joke and carbotech pads dust just as much as the stock ones do. Again take your pick, less dust and less stopping power or more dust and more stopping power.

trust you for the references ZL1 2017 brembo 6 front and 4 rear

when I see the net pictures (amazon, eBay...) rear match but front seem to be different...
just want to be sure that the 1835 front are matching same than OEM?
any adjustment?

That is correct and they are a perfect match to the OEM ZL1 pads. 2nd pic is of my ~900 mile OEM pads stuffed back into the box w. some bubble wrap.

Sure thing.

Don't forget to wash the wheels and put a nice hydrophobic or ceramic coating on them while they're off the car.

I have Carbotech 1521 compound on mine and they do not dust as much as the stock ones. I would say 75% less dust and same stopping power as the stock pads, however you do need to apply about 10% more pedal pressure to achieve it. Do not track with the 1521 compound. You will still have to switch out pads for track days.

I have been running hawk ceramics for several years, much less dust and braking still excellent, don't track them though.
