I bought mine from Autoanything. They were very fast shipping and had a better price than Amazon.

I have not washed my wheels in almost 2 weeks and I swear they still look clean.. I know they've got the usual dirt from normal weather, dust, etc on them but last-night I walked over and swiped my finger across the face of my front passenger wheel and my finger barely has brake dust on it in comparison to how nasty the amount of brake dust would have been with the stock pads. These things are amazing! Also I have done some heavy braking recently too so this is the amount of dust from every day use, with some heavy braking thrown in.

Are you listening GM? Why after several years of people replacing your new brakes are you still putting these pads on our cars? Tell Brembo to produce crermic lower dust pads.

I just got these pads for my 2017 (Z26)...I love them. No squeal or hardliy even brake dust. I even think my stopping power increase. Easy to install but I used the new springs in the rear and my stock in the front just break cleaner to clean everything good. I washed my wheels but i didnt do the wax treatment or hydro but overall Im still please. My question has anyone changed the rotors to slotted ones? I just dont know which ones to order. I dont plan on tracking my car. I just plainly wanted some for looks.

It's funny you should say that. I also feel the car stops better and braking has a better feel. I thought it was just me so I did not post it after I installed my Z26 pads.

It does. I had a BMW 535i and that thing stop on a dime. On this car with new or better brake pads,this car stops real good or better then German steel even at high speed. I love this car!!

My experience with the Z23 pads is similar. Very little brake dust and the pads feel about the same as stock.

Ordering the Z26 pads soon and considering swapping rotors to power stop drilled and slotted on my 2016. Has anyone swapped rotors?

If my 2LT has the 4 pot Brembos I can use the z23 pads without issue right?

I've run slotted rotors on three different cars, two of which have not and will not ever be tracked.

In street driving, the slots tend to give the little bits of grit that lead to rotor scoring a better place to go. Appearance and braking both benefit at least a little. You may or may not notice improved cold bite when you first step on the brake pedal; this may depend on how hard you generally use the brakes.

The fact that you are getting the stopping power of brembos, the last thing to complain about is brake dust really.

Brembo makes brakes that hold up, deal with heat, and most importantly stop a car...in an emergency or performance situation.

A sports car is first and foremost a performance vehicle. Byproducts of performance is additional heat, higher rate of tire wear, brake dust, and parts that wear quicker.

People are more than welcome to go with aftermarket low dust stuff if you're more about show than go...

So no one has mentioned it but I figured I'd check, no squealing issues with the Z26 pads right?

None with these or the OEM's. Bed your brakes!

[craigss50]

No squealing with mine either. I did have squealing with OEM pads so what a relief that is no longer an issue.
