Do you have links, to either of these?

I have a set of ZL1 front pads (new), on the shelf. I’d like to check all of my options, before I throw them in.

Sorry I missed this...

Here are the Porterfield R4-S I have sitting on the shelf
Front, 1395 pad shape:
https://porterfield-brakes.com/product/ap1395/

They are spec'd for a Gen5 Z/28 caliper, but they are NOT for the Z's CCM brake rotors.

Rear:
https://porterfield-brakes.com/product/ap592-15/


Here is the front spec for a Gen6 ZL1, 1835 pad shape:
https://porterfield-brakes.com/product/ap1835/

Note that the 1395 and 1835 shapes are very similar. Just like the Gen6 copper content (non-BCD) shape vs the BCD shape, similiar but different.


Here are the Pagids, may still be for sale:

Here is a photo comparison of BCD pads vs. ZL1 pads. BDCs are at the top.
