No one has to justify their purchase, but its always good to know there are other or better options available.

I used those pads, and they glazed the rotors, giving a pulsation while braking. I didn't like the feel of the brakes even when they weren't pulsating. I went back to stock after having the rotors turned enough to eliminate the glazing.

Curious. Did you follow the exact directions to seat them?

Hmmm not sure which coating you’re using but I coated my Hellcat devils rims with 2 coats of Cquartz and after 3 years the coating was still going strong and those brembos dust worse than the ZL1’s. It’s all in the prep work.

I was very disappointed with the Carbotech pads. Went back to OEM. I'll take the dust over reduced stopping power any day
