Once they bed-in the initial bite is only slightly less than stock, which I prefer as I found the stock Ferodo's a bit grabby for the street.

I'm wondering if the poster above had an install error, on top of using the wrong pad size for the ZL1 rotor. The pad faces are all rusty, which doesn't make any sense for this pad compound.

Considering how much I like the Z26's for the street, to me it's a no-brainer I'll buy them again down the road when they need replacement.
I took the picture today, they have been sitting under my workbench for over a year. Pretty humid here in South FL. LOL

Thinking the rust is spent iron from the rotor transfer.

I'm hoping that the "recipe" changed for the 2017 ZL1. Remember I'm posting on past experience from my 5th gen ZL1. Maybe the 17 would be better, If I see good reviews I will get a new set.
Loved the no dust part...
Hated the stopping distance.
